Comparison of Analgesic Efficacy between Ultrasound-guided Supra-inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block and Pericapsular Nerve Group Block following Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Year: 2024

Type: article

Study designs: Randomized Controlled Trial, Clinical Trial

Abstract: Purpose: The effectiveness of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block versus suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SFIB) for pain relief after hip arthroplasty is a topic of ongoing debate. This study aimed to examine the association of PENG block with lower consumption of opioids during the first 24 hours following surgery compared to SFIB. Materials and Methods: In this single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 60 patients scheduled for an elective posterior approach to total hip arthroplasty (THA) were randomized according to two groups: ultrasound-guided PENG block (PENG group) or SFIB (SFIB group). The 24-hour consumption of intravenous fentanyl was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included perioperative consumption of intravenous fentanyl, pain scores, sensorimotor function, and functional measures. Results: <0.05). Conclusion: Compared to SFIB, the addition of PENG block to multimodal analgesia did not reduce fentanyl consumption or pain scores after posterior approach THA.
