What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the pain relief effect of a pericapsular nerve block (PENG) compared to intrathecal morphine in patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery. This double-blind, non-inferiority study aims to determine if the PENG block provides similar postoperative pain control as intrathecal morphine by comparing morphine consumption, pain scores, side effects, and functional outcomes. Eighty patients will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will receive spinal anesthesia with local anesthetic and a PENG block, while the other will receive spinal anesthesia with local anesthetic plus intrathecal morphine and a sham PENG block to maintain blinding. During surgery, additional medications like dexamethasone, acetaminophen, ketorolac, and magnesium will support postoperative pain control. After surgery, pain will be managed with morphine as needed, along with paracetamol and ibuprofen. Participants will be closely monitored with post-operative visits at 2 hours, 1 day, and 2 days after surgery to collect data on pain, morphine use, side effects, and functional tests like walking and muscle strength. Pain management and any side effects such as nausea, itching, or urinary retention will be recorded. The main outcome is the total morphine used within the first 24 hours after surgery, with additional measures taken up to 2 days postoperatively.

Your Study Journey

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

1 visit (in-person)

Surgery and Immediate Post-operative Care

Duration - Up to 2 hours post-surgery

Participants receive spinal anesthesia followed by either a pericapsular nerve group block or intrathecal morphine during their hip arthroplasty surgery. Postoperative analgesia is managed in the recovery room with additional medications and morphine as needed.

1 visit (in-person, surgery and recovery room care)

Post-operative Follow-up

Duration - 2 days post-surgery

Participants are monitored for pain, morphine consumption, side effects, and functional recovery. Pain scores, morphine use, and adverse effects are recorded at 2 hours, day 1, and day 2 postoperatively. Functional tests such as quadriceps strength and walking tests are performed on days 1 and 2.

3 visits (at 2 hours, day 1, and day 2 post-surgery)
