Clinical Trial

Preoperative Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block for Positioning Analgesia in Hip Fracture Patients Undergoing Spinal Anesthesia

Completed Phase 4
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of the clinical trial is to learn if preoperative Superficial Inguinal Fascia Iliaca (SIFI) block works to reduce pain during positioning for spinal anesthesia. Investigators will compare this block to no block to see if it works to reduce procedural pain. All participants will be divided into two groups. Group A will be given preoperative SIFI block prior to spinal anesthesia positioning, while Group B patients will receive no block. They will be assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at rest, during positioning, and at 12 and 24 hours postoperatively. Efficacy will be measured by using the VAS pain scoring system. The final assessment will be done at the 24-hour follow-up. A total of 132 patients (66 per group) fulfilling the inclusion criteria are enrolled in the study.
