Comparing two nerve block techniques for pain relief after hip surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective randomized comparative study evaluates the effectiveness of two nerve block techniques, the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block and the Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane (L-ESP) block, in managing postoperative pain for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. Participants over 18 years old will be monitored for pain scores, opioid consumption, and satisfaction for 24 hours post-surgery. The study aims to determine which nerve block provides superior analgesia, reduces opioid dependence, and enhances recovery outcomes.
