What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block in managing pain for patients undergoing elective hip hemiarthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. The study will involve 60 participants, who will be randomly assigned to either receive the PENG block or not, allowing for a comparison of recovery quality and pain levels. Data will be collected on various demographic and medical history factors, and patients will be monitored throughout the procedure. The trial aims to provide insights into the benefits of this novel nerve block technique in enhancing postoperative recovery.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with ASA physical status 1-3 undergoing elective hip hemiarthroplasty.

Not a fit: Patients with ASA physical status 4 or above, or those with contraindications to spinal anesthesia will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved pain management and faster recovery for patients undergoing hip surgery.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar regional anesthesia techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
