Comparing pain relief methods for hip fracture surgery patients
Effects of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block Applied for Analgesia on the Postoperative Process in Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery.
This study is testing whether a new pain relief method called the PENG block can help people recovering from hip fracture surgery feel less pain and recover faster compared to standard pain management.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block compared to standard multimodal analgesia in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. A total of 70 patients aged 30-85 will be randomly assigned to receive either the PENG block or standard analgesia after spinal anesthesia. The study will assess postoperative pain levels, need for additional pain relief, hip joint mobility, time to mobilization, length of hospital stay, and any adverse events. The PENG block will be administered under ultrasound guidance before surgery, while the control group will receive routine local anesthetic infiltration post-surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are men and women aged 30-85 who are scheduled for hip fracture surgery.
Not a fit: Patients under 30 or over 85 years old, those with severe comorbidities, cognitive impairments, or allergies to local anesthetics may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve postoperative pain management for hip fracture patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with nerve blocks for postoperative pain management, suggesting this approach may be effective.
