Trial summary

The incidence of femoral neck fracture in Europe is 330/10000 per year. It is increasing every year due to the aging of the population. In patients 55 years and older, hip fracture-related mortality is estimated to be between 4% and 16% at one month and between 11% and 43% at one year after surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Adding Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block to PENG Block on Postoperative Opioid Consumption in Hip Surgery

The incidence of femoral neck fracture in Europe is 330/10000 per year. It is increasing every year due to the aging of the population. In patients 55 years and older, hip fracture-related mortality is estimated to be between 4% and 16% at one month and between 11% and 43% at one year after surgery. The reduced risk of postoperative complications associated with the use of regional anesthesia, shorter mobilization times, and reduced morphine consumption in hip fractures have been reported, and have been incorporated into postoperative pain control as part of multimodal strategies. PENG has been described for postoperative pain control for surgery on the hip joint or for the treatment of post-traumatic pain associated with proximal femur/femoral head fractures. Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block is used in combination with other peripheral block methods to provide analgesia in the lateral thigh.

The investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of adding lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block to PENG block on pain scores and opioid consumption in femoral fracture procedures under spinal anesthesia.

What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative opioid consumption

    total morphine requirement

    Measured: up to 24 hour after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. pain scores

    evaluating pain scores by Numeric Rating Score

    Measured: up to 24 hour after surgery

  2. first analgesic time

    the need of first analgesic after surgery

    Measured: up to 24 hour after surgery

  3. postoperative complications

    nausea-vomitting, motor block, hypertension, hypotension etc.

    Measured: up to 24 hour after surgery

  4. mobilization time

    when the patient is first mobilized

    Measured: up to 24 hour after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PENG Block and LFCN block in people with Pain, Postoperative and Pain, Acute, run by Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

postoperative opioid consumption (time frame: up to 24 hour 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 26 Jan 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
