Trial summary

Arthroscopic hip surgery is being increasingly performed to treat both intraarticular and extraarticular hip diseases. Despite the minimally invasive approach, patients undergoing arthroscopic hip surgery still suffer severe pain due to the complex nature of hip innervation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Circum-Psoas Block for Arthroscopic Hip Surgery: A Randomized Trial

Arthroscopic hip surgery is being increasingly performed to treat both intraarticular and extraarticular hip diseases. Despite the minimally invasive approach, patients undergoing arthroscopic hip surgery still suffer severe pain due to the complex nature of hip innervation. Postoperative pain reduces patient satisfaction and delay patient recovery and discharge. The efficacy of regional anesthesia techniques in postoperative pain management have been proved in various surgeries. However, it remains controversial whether or not peripheral nerve blocks can significantly improve postoperative analgesia after hip arthroscopy.

Several studies have shown that the fascia iliac block cannot improve postoperative analgesia for hip arthroscopy because it blocks only some branches of the lumbar plexus but not the sacral plexus. Circum-Psoas Block (CPB) which has been defined in recent years is able to block the lumbar plexus nerves as well as sacral plexus such as the sciatic, superior gluteal, and inferior gluteal nerves. Therefore, the investigators predict that it can provide effective postoperative analgesia for hip arthroscopy. In this study, the researchers aim to investigate the effectiveness of CPB in hip arthroscopy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Circum-psoas BlockProcedure or surgery

    Ultrasound-guided circum-psoas block with 40 mL of treatment drug (Ropivacaine 0.2% [local anesthetic]) 30 minutes prior to induction of anesthesia.

  • Sham blockProcedure or surgery

    Perform ultrasound scanning without puncture.

Study groups in NCT06337968
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Ultrasound guided circum-psoas blockActive comparatorInjection of 20ml 0.2% ropivacaine around the antero-lateral margin of psoas major muscle at the level of iliac crest with an in-plane approach under ultrasound guidance. Then the transducer was placed at the level of Lumbar vertebra 5 to obtain the paramedian transverse plane of the intertransverse ligament and lumbosacral ligament. An additional 20ml 0.2% ropivacaine was injected when the needle punctured the lumbosacral ligament.

What is being measured

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

  1. pain severity at 6 hours postoperatively

    Postoperative pain assessed with NRS pain score (NRS 0: no pain 10: pain as bad as can be) at 1, 6, 12, 24 hours postoperatively. However, to be more precise in our assessment, the effectiveness of each intervention was defined as a reduction in the pain at 6 hours postoperatively.

    Measured: 6 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Postoperative opioid consumption

    Cumulative 24-hr postoperative opioid consumption

    Measured: up to the first 24 hours postoperatively

  2. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Nausea and vomiting intensity score measured by numeric rank score (0:no nausea and no vomiting, 1: have nausea, no vomiting, 2: once vomiting, 3: two or more vomiting).

    Measured: up to the first 24 hours postoperatively

  3. neurologic evaluation

    The dermatomal coverage of sensory block was evaluated by using a cool roller at 1, 6, 24 hours post-surgery. Motor strength was assessed by the following criteria (0: none; 1: muscle flicker without movement; 2: movement, but not against gravity; 3: movement against gravity; 4: movement against some resistance; 5: normal strength).

    Measured: 1, 6, 24 hours postoperatively

  4. Patient satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction measured using a numeric rating scale 0 to 10 (0 = unsatisfied; 10 =very satisfied)

    Measured: at the end of 24 hours postoperatively
