Overview
Brief Summary
Title: A Randomized Double-Blind Study to Compare the Analgesic Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Supra-Inguinal versus Conventional Infra-Inguinal Approach for Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block in Patients with Hip Bone Fracture
Summary: This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical study, conducted at JNMC, AMU, aims to compare the analgesic effectiveness of ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal (SIFIB)versus infra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (IIFIB) in patients with unilateral hip bone fractures. Hip fractures are common in the elderly and associated with severe pain and complications. The study includes 60 patients, randomly assigned to either SIFIB or IIFIB groups (30 each), to assess pain relief efficacy.
The primary objective is to compare the duration of analgesia based on the time to first rescue analgesic dose. Secondary objectives include evaluating pain scores using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), total analgesic consumption over 24 hours, and recording any adverse effects or complications.
This trial emphasizes the importance of early and effective regional analgesia as a safer alternative to opioids and NSAIDs, especially in elderly patients with comorbidities.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To compare the duration of pain relief between supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (SIFIB) versus infra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (IIFIB) in patient with unilateral hip bone fracture in terms of first dose of rescue analgesic.
Time Frame: The intensity of pain will be recorded in both groups at the following time points: before the procedure (T0) and at 1hr (T1), 3hr (T2), 12hr (T3), and 24 hr (T4) after the procedure
Secondary Outcomes
- To compare the degree of pain relief in terms of Numerical Rating Scale(NRS).(•To record analgesic consumption during first 24 hours.)
