Trial Outcomes & Findings for PENG Block Versus LP Block for THA Postop Pain (NCT NCT05261009)

NCT ID: NCT05261009

Last Updated: 2024-05-21

Results Overview

a comparison of patient-reported numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores with movement at six hours following block placement. Equivalency will be defined as a difference of less than one point in either direction on the eleven-point NRS pain scale. Score ranges from 0-10 with a higher score denoting more pain.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: hour 24

Population: The number analyzed for pain meds in each group is different from the participant flow because not everyone had to have opioids within the first 24 hours. This outcome is related to only those that required opioids in each group.

Time to first dose of opioid rescue for postoperative pain management - This outcome was evaluated in time to first opioid dose, which was measured in hours - no analysis for mean, median, or any of the others suggested - It was calculated as time of block to time of first opioid dose-hours and minutes.
