Authors' objectives:

To review and synthesize the evidence on pain management interventions in nonpathological hip fracture patients following low-energy trauma. Outcomes include pain management (short and long term), mortality, functional status, pain medication use, mental status, health-related quality of life, quality of sleep, ability to participate in rehabilitation, return to pre-fracture living arrangements, health services utilization, and adverse effects.

Authors' recommendations: For most interventions in this review there were sparse data available, which precludes firm conclusions for any single approach or for the optimal overall pain management following hip fracture.
