Using PENG block to improve pain management after hip surgeries
The Impact of Pericapsular Nerve Group Block on The Duration of Post-Operative Analgesia Following Hip Joint Surgeries
This study is testing if adding a special nerve block to spinal anesthesia can help reduce pain after hip surgeries and make it easier for patients to move around sooner.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block in prolonging postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing hip joint surgeries. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive spinal anesthesia alone or spinal anesthesia combined with the PENG block. The aim is to determine if the PENG block can reduce postoperative pain and facilitate early mobilization. The study will involve a total of 38 patients, with careful monitoring and premedication prior to the procedures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with hip fractures scheduled for surgical treatment who are classified as ASA physical status 1 or 2.
Not a fit: Patients with chronic pain, multiple trauma, or those unable to reliably assess pain may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance pain management and recovery for patients undergoing hip surgeries.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with nerve blocks for postoperative pain management, suggesting potential success for this approach.
