Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are ASA 2-3 patients scheduled for surgery due to hip fractures.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who cannot receive regional anesthesia, have communication barriers, allergies to local anesthetics, or organ failure may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial involves 120 patients scheduled for hip fracture surgery, who are randomly assigned to receive either a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block or a lumbar erector spinae plane (L-ESP) block before undergoing spinal anesthesia. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of these two regional anesthesia techniques in managing postoperative pain. Pain scores will be evaluated to determine which method provides better analgesia during the surgical procedure.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients undergoing hip surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar regional anesthesia techniques, indicating potential for success.
