Effect of a Lateral Nerve of the Thigh Block on Postoperative Pain After Total Hip Replacement Surgery

Effect of a Lateral Nerve of the Thigh Block on Postoperative Pain After Total Hip Replacement Surgery: a Clinical Randomized Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 4
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 100 (actual)
• Sponsor: Daniel Hägi-Pedersen · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of the nervus cutaneous femoral lateralis (NCFL) blockade on postoperative pain after total hip replacement surgery. The NCFL-block is a pure sensory block. We hypothesized that the NCFL-block would reduced the postoperative pain without delaying mobilization.

Conditions

• Pain, Postoperative
• Anesthesia, Conduction
• Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Ropivacaine
DRUG	Placebo
DEVICE	An ultrasound-guided Nervus cutaneous femoral lateralis blockade will be given postoperatively
