Comparing two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after hip surgery
Efficacy and Safety of Ultrasound Guided Combined Pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Versus Lumbar Plexus Block for Postoperative Analgesia After Total Hip Arthroplasty: Randomized Clinical Study.
NA · Minia University · NCT05652075

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of two regional anesthesia techniques, the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block combined with the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block, against the traditional lumbar plexus block for managing postoperative pain in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. The aim is to determine which method provides better analgesia while considering the limitations posed by the use of antithrombotic drugs in orthopedic surgeries. Participants will be monitored for pain relief and any potential side effects following their surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 30 to 70 with ASA physical status I to III scheduled for hip surgery.
Not a fit: Patients with drug allergies, morbid obesity, coagulopathy, psychiatric disorders, opioid dependence, or those who refuse consent may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients recovering from hip surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While regional anesthesia techniques have been widely studied, this specific comparison of PENG and lumbar plexus blocks is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
