Comparing pain management techniques for total hip surgery
Comparison of Pericapsular Nerve Group Block, Quadratus Lumborum Block and Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane Block for Acute Pain Management in Total Hip Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial
This study tests three different pain management methods for people having total hip surgery to see which one helps them recover better and feel less pain after the operation.

What this trial studies
This study aims to compare three different pain management techniques—Pericapsular Nerve Group Block, Erector Spinae Plane Block, and Quadratus Lumborum Block—in patients undergoing total hip surgeries under spinal anesthesia. The focus is on managing acute postoperative pain effectively to enhance recovery and reduce hospital stays. By evaluating these techniques, the study seeks to identify the most effective method for pain relief while minimizing the use of opioids and their associated side effects.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18-65 years scheduled for total hip surgeries under spinal anesthesia with a BMI under 40.
Not a fit: Patients with contraindications to local anesthetics, chronic opioid or corticosteroid use, or psychiatric disorders may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients undergoing total hip surgery, enhancing recovery and quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using regional anesthesia techniques for postoperative pain management, suggesting potential success for this approach.
