About this study

Official title: PENG Block vs. ESP Block for Pediatric Hip Surgery. A Randomized, Prospective Double-blinded Clinical Trial.

The study compares the effectiveness and safety of the pericapsular nerve blockade vs. ESPB in pediatric patients who underwent hip surgeries.

Read the detailed description

The study compares the effectiveness and safety of the pericapsular nerve blockade vs. ESPB in pediatric patients who underwent hip surgeries. In addition, we aim to determine the optimal volume of local anesthetics needed to achieve a satisfactory level of analgesia.

Being tested
Pericapsular nerve group block using 0.2% ropivacaine, Erector Spinae Plane Block using 0.2% ropivacaine, Standard care
Medical subject headings
Hip Dislocation, Hip Injuries, Hip Fractures

What is being measured

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

  1. FLACC score

    The FLACC scale or Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Controllability Scale is used to assess pain for children between the ages of 2 months and seven years or individuals unable to communicate their pain. The scale is scored in a range of 0-10, with 0 representing no pain.

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. NLR

    neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery

  2. PLR

    platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery

  3. total opioid consumption

    morphine equivalents in miligrams

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pericapsular nerve group block using 0.2% ropivacaine and Erector Spinae Plane Block using 0.2% ropivacaine in people with Hip Dysplasia and Hip Injuries, run by Poznan University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Poland.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 28 Feb 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 Poland. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

FLACC score (time frame: 48 hours after surgery). 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 28 Feb 2024.
