Trial summary

This study aims to compare the postoperative 48-hour period in terms of morphine consumption, postoperative pain, and quality of recovery scores by combining the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block with low-dose intrathecal morphine in hip arthroplasty, as opposed to PENG alone and intrathecal morphine alone.

About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Combined Intrathecal Morphine and Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block on Postoperative Pain and Recovery Quality in Anterior Hip Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Double-blind, Randomized Clinical Trial

This study aims to compare the postoperative 48-hour period in terms of morphine consumption, postoperative pain, and quality of recovery scores by combining the Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block with low-dose intrathecal morphine in hip arthroplasty, as opposed to PENG alone and intrathecal morphine alone.

Read the detailed description

Effective postoperative pain control in hip surgeries can reduce complications and improve postoperative care. Multimodal analgesic techniques in postoperative pain management are employed to synergistically target different nociceptive mechanisms. Combining peripheral nerve blocks with low-dose intrathecal opioids can decrease the systemic opioid dose. Additionally, side effects associated with opioids, such as sedation, respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting, rash, and urinary retention, can be mitigated by the combination with peripheral nerve blocks.

The addition of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block to a multimodal analgesia regimen has been shown to significantly enhance the quality of recovery and reduce opioid consumption in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.

The Quality of Recovery (QoR-15), developed and validated by Stark et al. in 2013, is a recovery scale indicating postoperative recovery quality. It includes 15 questions assessing pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional state, providing a score between 0 and 150, where a higher score indicates better recovery quality.

In anterior hip surgeries, it is anticipated that spinal anesthesia combined with PENG block and low-dose intrathecal morphine will result in lower postoperative morphine consumption and pain scores compared to PENG alone and intrathecal morphine alone over the first 48 hours. Furthermore, it is expected that the quality of recovery (QoR-15 score) will be higher, providing patients with a longer pain-free period, early mobilization, and improved recovery quality.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pericapsular nerve group block plus intrathecal bupivacaineDrug

    Also called Spinal anesthesia, Peripheric nerve block

    Patients will undergo ultrasound-guided block using a linear or convex ultrasound probe in the supine position before intrathecal bupivacaine. The block procedure will involve the use of a local anesthetic solution (10-20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine and 2 mg dexamethasone) and a 22 Gauche 80 mm block needle. Subsequently, intrathecal bupivacaine will be administered at the L3-L4 intervertebral level with 10-15 mg bupivacaine while the patient is in a sitting position.The patient controlled analgesia device with morphine will be adjusted as infusion: 0 ml/h, bolus: 1 mg/h, lockout period: 10 min.

  • Intrathecal bupivacaine and morphineDrug

    Also called Spinal anesthesia

    Patients will receive intrathecal bupivacaine and morphine without Pericapsular Nerve Group block. Intrathecal drugs will be administered at the L3-L4 intervertebral level by adding 10-15 mg bupivacaine with 100 μg of morphine. The patient controlled analgesia device with morphine will be adjusted as infusion: 0 ml/h, bolus: 1 mg/h, lockout period: 10 min.

  • Pericapsular nerve group block plus intrathecal bupivacaine and morphineDrug

    Also called Spinal anesthesia, Peripheric nerve block

    Patients will undergo ultrasound-guided block using a linear or convex ultrasound probe in the supine position before intrathecal drugs. The block procedure will involve the use of a local anesthetic solution (10-20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine and 2 mg dexamethasone) and a S22 Gauche 80 mm block needle. Subarachnoid block will be administered at the L3-L4 intervertebral level by adding 10-15 mg bupivacaine with 100 μg of morphine. The patient controlled analgesia device with morphine will be adjusted as infusion: 0 ml/h, bolus: 1 mg/h, lockout period: 10 min.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Morphine consumption

    Morphine

    Measured: From end of anesthesia (15 minutes after anesthesia) to after 48 hours, up to 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Postoperative pain scores

    Visual Analog Scale (Minimum value: 0- Maximum value:10) 0: No pain, 10: the most intense pain imaginable. Lower scores mean better outcomes and higher scores mean worse outcome.

    Measured: From end of anesthesia (15 minutes after anesthesia) to after 48 hours, up to 48 hours

  2. The quality of recovery score

    The quality of recovery (QoR-15 score): It includes 15 questions assessing pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional state, providing a score between 0 and 150, where a higher score indicates better recovery quality.

    Measured: From beginning of anesthesia (15 minutes before anesthesia) to after 24 hours, up to 24hours
