Effect of regional anesthesia techniques on pain management in hip surgery
Comparison of the Peroperative Efficacy of Pericapsular Nerve Group Block and Lumbar Erector Spina Plan Block Applied Preoperatively in Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Operation
This study is testing whether a new type of nerve block can help reduce pain better than another method for patients having hip fracture surgery.

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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are ASA 2-3 patients scheduled for surgery due to hip fractures.
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.
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 performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar regional anesthesia techniques, indicating potential for success.
