About this study

Official title: Effets D'un Bloc Glutéal Postérieur Profond Associé À Un PENG Bloc Dans La Prothèse Totale De Hanche

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a posterior hip capsule block performed in addition to a PENG (Pericapsular Nerve Group) block for patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. The primary objective is to assess whether this combined approach provides enhanced perioperative analgesia compared to the standard analgesic protocol or the PENG block alone. Secondary outcomes will focus on opioid consumption, functional recovery, and any potential complications. By targeting both the anterior and posterior innervation pathways around the hip joint, this combined technique could improve patient comfort, decrease opioid requirements, and potentially expedite rehabilitation after hip arthroplasty.

What participants receive

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

  • Deep posterior post gluteal nerve blockProcedure or surgery

    One injection with ultrasound guidance injection of 5, 10 or 15 mL of naropeine 0.35 % Procedure : injection below the piriformis muscle in front of the head of the femur.

Study groups in NCT06896591
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DPPG compartment blockExperimentalDeep posterior post gluteal compartment block with different volume of product 5,10 and 15 ml (local anesthetics such as naropeine 0.35%) to compare the efficiency of the block without sciatic nerve block effect
Receives: Procedure: Deep posterior post gluteal nerve block

What is being measured

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

  1. Sciatic nerve block

    number of patients with postoperative sciatic motor or sensitory nerve block collected by clinical examination (test with hot and cold in the sciatic territory and motricity of the feet)

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pain postoperative

    Visual analogic pain (VAS) AT 6 hours 0 : no pain 10: maximum pain

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 MONTH

  2. pain 2

    Visual analogic pain (VAS) AT 12 hours 0 : no pain 10: maximum pain

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 MONTH

  3. oPIOID Consumption

    Opioid consumption per and postoperative until 48 hours

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 7 months

  4. RAAC

    QOR15 scale at H24 and H48 questionnaire with 15 questions from 0 to 10 (https://pqip.org.uk/FilesUploaded/Myles%20QoR-15.pdf)

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 MONTH

  5. Surgical complication

    Surgical postoperative complication or fall

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 MONTH

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Deep posterior post gluteal nerve block in people with Total Hip Arthroplasty, run by Quincy Anesthésie.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact YOANN ELMALEH, M.D (+33781330431, Yoyo.elmaleh@hotmail.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sciatic nerve block (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06896591, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Mar 2025.
