Fascia Iliaca Compartment Blocks for Pain Control in Hip Fractures

Early Phase 1

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Hip Fractures

• Registration Number: NCT04086914
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of South Carolina

Brief Summary

This study is comparing the use of a peripheral nerve block and standard opioid pain medications in pain control in hip fractures prior to surgery. A peripheral nerve block is a procedure that injects numbing medicine around a nerve to help decrease the pain, motion, and sensation around the painful site temporarily. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if peripheral nerve blocks are more effective for pain control than just standard opioid pain medication while decreasing the amount of side effects from opioid medication.
