Comparison of analgesic effect of pericapsular nerve group block and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block on dynamic pain in patients with hip fractures: a randomized controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
PENG block and SIFICB could effectively provide analgesia for dynamic pain in patients with hip fractures, with no significant difference between the two groups.
Study context
- Population
- Hip fracture patients aged ≥19 years, ASA physical status 1–4, baseline dynamic pain score ≥4 on NRS, before surgery79 analysed
- Participants
- 80 patients
- Comparison
- Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block vs supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block
- PENG blockn = 40
- Supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (SIFICB)n = 40reference
- Primary endpoint
- Reduction in dynamic pain scores (leg passively raised)
- Follow-up
- 30 min following the peripheral nerve block
