Comparison of Pain Relief After Hip Fracture Surgery: Hip and Groin Nerve Block
Turkey (Türkiye)66 participantsStarted 2023-05-01
Plain-language summary
This observational prospective double-blind study aims to compare the analgesic effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve group block (PENG) group and the suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block(SFICB) group to be applied to relieve postoperative pain in participants over the age of 18 who will be treated under spinal anesthesia with intertrochanteric femur fracture. The main question it aims to answer is:
\* Demonstration of whether PENG block or SFICB is more effective for postoperative analgesia in patients who have undergone intertrochanteric femur fracture surgery, based on pain scores, opioid consumption and patient satisfaction.
ıntertrochanteric femur fractures cause severe pain with movement. Postoperatively, participants' movements are severely restricted, increasing the likelihood of complications.
In this study, participants' pain status, VAS score, opioid consumption through patient-controlled analgesia, and satisfaction will be measured with a survey at the end of the 24th hour.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
