ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating two methods for managing pain after hip arthroscopy surgery, a common procedure for treating hip problems. The trial compares a newer pain relief technique called the PENG block with a traditional method of injecting pain medication directly into the hip joint. The aim is to find out which method works better for controlling pain after surgery, helping patients recover more comfortably and quickly without relying heavily on opioids.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be between the ages of 18 and 75, have an acceptable body weight, and be scheduled for elective hip arthroscopy. They should also be able to understand the study and provide consent to participate. Participants will receive one of the pain management techniques during their surgery and will be monitored for their pain levels afterwards. It’s important to note that those with certain health conditions, such as severe kidney issues or those requiring ongoing opioid use, will not be eligible for this study. This research could help improve pain management strategies for future hip surgery patients.
