Trial summary

THR (Total Hip Replacement) can be very painful and regional anesthesia is very effective in reducing postoperative pain. Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) and PENG (pericapsular nerve group block) are alternative approaches to the hip sensitive nerve branches that resulted to be very promising for hip surgeries.

About this study

Official title: Erector Spinae Block Versus PENG Block for Postoperative Analgesia After Total Hip Replacement

THR (Total Hip Replacement) can be very painful and regional anesthesia is very effective in reducing postoperative pain. Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) and PENG (pericapsular nerve group block) are alternative approaches to the hip sensitive nerve branches that resulted to be very promising for hip surgeries. However, no studies investigated the analgesic superiority of either PENG or ESPB. In our study the investigators compare PENG (with a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block) and ESPB in terms of pain relief expressed as morphine consumption in the first 24 hours after primary THR.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. morphine consumption

    milligrams of morphine by patient controlled analgesia intravenously

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. postoperative pain

    numeric rating scale - NRS 11 point scale from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "worst imaginable pain"

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. neuropathic pain

    DN4 questionnaire - 4 items questionnaire to investigate the occurrence of neuropathic component

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. postoperative complications

    nausea, vomiting, vertigo, blurred vision, syncope, bleeding, falls

    Measured: 48 hours

  4. chronic postoperative pain

    numeric rating scale 11 point scale from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "worst imaginable pain"

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ERECTOR SPINAE PLANE BLOCK, Peng block + lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block and spinal anesthesia in people with Pain, Postoperative, run by Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

morphine consumption (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jul 2024.
