ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating two types of nerve blocks, the PENG block and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block, to manage pain after total hip replacement surgery. The goal is to see how well these methods work compared to the traditional lumbar plexus block in providing relief from postoperative pain. Since some patients may have restrictions on using certain types of anesthesia due to medications they take, this study aims to find safer and effective alternatives.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 30 and 70 years old and in good health (classified as ASA physical status I to III). Certain conditions, like severe obesity, bleeding disorders, psychiatric issues, or a history of opioid dependence, would disqualify you. If you decide to join, you can expect to receive one of the three types of nerve blocks during your surgery and will be monitored for pain relief and any side effects afterward. This could be an important step in finding better pain management solutions for hip surgery patients.
