Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block on Postoperative Pain Management After Acetabular Fracture Fixation

Efficacy of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block on Postoperative Pain Management After Acetabular Fracture Fixation: A Randomized Controlled Trial


Sponsor

University of Puerto Rico

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Sep 8, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether a Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block, a type of nerve block used to control pain, can reduce pain after surgery in adults with an acetabular (hip socket) fracture who are undergoing surgical repair. The study will also evaluate the safety of the PENG block. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does a PENG block reduce pain after surgery? Does a PENG block reduce the need for opioid pain medications after surgery? Are there any side effects or complications related to the PENG block? Researchers will compare patients who receive a PENG block with patients who do not receive a PENG block to determine whether the block improves pain control after surgery. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive either a PENG block or no PENG block before surgery while under general anesthesia. Undergo surgery to repair their acetabular fracture. Receive the same standard pain medications after surgery. Be asked to rate their pain at several time points after surgery using a standard pain scale. Have their use of pain medications, recovery, and any side effects recorded during their hospital stay and follow-up.
