Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Comparison of lumbar plexus nerve block versus pericapsular injection for pain control during hip arthroscopy

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to compare two different methods of pain control during and after hip arthroscopy surgery. It is not clear which of many different pain control methods are ideal to reduce pain for patients; consequently, the investigators are performing this study to compare the two main choices for pain control commonly used in order to identify if either is superior to the other.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Lumbar Plexus Block

A lumbar plexus 'nerve block' is a procedure in which local anesthetic ("numbing medicine") is injected around a specific group of nerves to provide pain relief directly to the nerves supplying the area of the body undergoing surgery.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Lumbar Plexus BLock

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Peripheral nerve block

Pericapsular Injection

The pericapsular injection is a procedure in which local anesthetic ("numbing medicine") is injected around the hip joint to provide direct pain relief to the area undergoing surgery.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Pericapsular injection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Injection around the area undergoing surgery
