PENG Block With or Without PPD Block for Postoperative Analgesia After Total Hip Arthroplasty 40 Randomized

Not yet recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07502248 is an interventional study for Postoperative Pain, Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and is currently not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on April 5, 2026 and continue until the study accrues 40 participants. Led by Kirsehir Ahi Evran Universitesi, this study is expected to complete by June 5, 2027. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on March 30, 2026.
Brief Summary
This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of PENG block with or without posterior pericapsular deep gluteal block in adult patients undergoing elective primary total hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. Total hip arthroplasty is commonly associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. Although PENG block provides analgesia fo...Show More
Detailed Description
This study is planned as a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind trial in adult patients undergoing elective primary total hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. Eligible participants will be patients aged 18 years or older, classified as ASA physical status I-III, and able to provide informed consent. Patients with ASA IV-V, serious cardiac, respiratory, hepatic, or renal disease, neuro...Show More

Arms / Interventions
Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
Active ComparatorPENG Block
Participants in this arm will receive ultrasound-guided PENG block after spinal anesthesia for postoperative analgesia during primary total hip arthroplasty. In addition, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block will be performed.
PENG block
Ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group block performed after spinal anesthesia for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. In Group 1, PENG block will be performed in the supine position using an in-plane technique, and 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected between the psoas tendon and iliopubic ramus. In both groups, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block will also be ...Show More
Active ComparatorPENG Plus PPD Block
Participants in this arm will receive ultrasound-guided PENG block followed by ultrasound-guided posterior pericapsular deep gluteal block after spinal anesthesia for postoperative analgesia during primary total hip arthroplasty. In addition, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block will be performed.

Deep posterior gluteal compartment block
Ultrasound-guided posterior pericapsular deep gluteal block performed after PENG block and spinal anesthesia for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. In Group 2, the block will be performed in the lateral decubitus position with the hip and knee flexed to 90 degrees, and 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected after needle placement to the posterior acetabular rim near th...Show More
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Postoperative pain intensity at 6 hours measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
Postoperative pain intensity will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. The primary comparison between groups will be the NRS score at postoperative 6 hours
6 hours after surgery
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Postoperative pain intensity over the first 24 hours measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
Postoperative pain intensity will also be assessed in the recovery room and at postoperative 2, 12, and 24 hours using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
Recovery room, 2 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after surgery
Total analgesic consumption during the first 24 hours
Total amount of analgesic medication consumed within the first 24 hours after surgery will be recorded and compared between groups
24 hours after surgery
Time to first rescue analgesic requirement
Time from block performance to first additional analgesic requirement will be recorded
Up to 24 hours after surgery
Time to first mobilization
Time to first standing or mobilization after surgery will be recorded and compared between groups
Up to 24 hours after surgery
Ankle dorsiflexion motor strength
Ankle dorsiflexion motor strength will be assessed postoperatively to evaluate possible motor weakness related to block spread.
Recovery room, 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after surgery
