ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a technique called the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block, which is used to help manage pain for patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery (THA). The researchers believe that giving this nerve block before the surgery, along with spinal anesthesia, can help reduce pain after the operation, decrease the need for strong pain medications like opioids, and allow patients to start moving around sooner.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be between 40 and 85 years old and scheduled for a THA using a specific surgical approach. However, individuals with certain conditions, such as severe cognitive impairments or other serious health issues, will not be able to participate. If you join the study, you can expect to receive care that focuses on minimizing pain and speeding up recovery, while helping researchers learn more about the benefits of this pain management technique.
