PENG Block in Comparison With FICB for Hip Reconstruction in Children

July 2, 2025 updated by: Novikova Veronika, Saint Petersburg State University, Russia

The Comparison of Pericapsular Nerve Block and Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block in Children With Cerebral Palsy or Spina Bifida for Pain Management in Hip Surgery.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the hypothesis that performing a Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block allows for more effective analgesia in the perioperative period during reconstructive surgery on the hip in children with cerebral palsy and spina bifida compared with Fascia illiaca compartment block (FICB).

Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The main question it aims to answer is: Is the PENG block an effective and safe method of pain relief for hip surgery in children? Participants will be randomized into two equal groups. The group who underwent US - guided PENG block, and the group who underwent US - guided FICB . In both groups we used 0.5% ropivacaine. The same postoperative analgesia regimen was applied by intravenous acetaminophen , oral ibuprofen . In case of ineffectiveness of the prescribed drugs, promedol was used intramuscularly. The postoperative consumption of promedol, time to first rescue analgesia, numerical pain score (NRS) (for children from 7 years old), FLACC score, measurements of A.N.I. monitor MDMS and the side effects will be recorded

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Active Comparator: PENG group
The patient will undergo pericapsular nerve blockade with 0.5% ropivacaine based on 3 mg/kg ropivacaine using ultrasound scanning.
Procedure: Pericapcelar group nerve block
In the supine position, a high-frequency linear sensor is placed in the anterior superior iliac spine and then aligned with the ramus of the pubis by rotating the probe counterclockwise approximately 45 degrees. The iliopsoas muscle and tendon, femoral artery, and pectineus muscle were observed in this view.The iliopsoas muscle and its tendon are visualized, as well as the vascular and nerve bundle: femoral artery, vein, and nerve. The needle is inserted laterally to medially in a planar approach to place the tip in the musculofascial plane between the psoas tendon anteriorly and the ramus pubis posteriorly. After negative aspiration, local anesthetic will be gradually injected aspirating every 3 mL.
Active Comparator: FICB group
The patient will undergo FICB with 0.5% ropivacaine based on 3 mg/kg ropivacaine using ultrasound scanning.
Procedure: Fascia iliaca compartment block
In the supine position, a high-frequency linear sensor is placed in the inguinal fold. Scan starting lateral to the femoral artery and the nerve in the inguinal crease to identify the sartorius muscle, tracing the muscle to its origin to the anterior superior iliac spine. A shadow of the iliac crest bone and iliacus muscle will be visible, with the end point of injection being deep in the fascia iliaca and above the iliacus muscle at the lateral aspect of the iliacus muscle. After negative aspiration, local anesthetic will be gradually injected under the fascial plane, aspirating every 3 mL.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Opioids consumption
Time Frame: 24 hours
Total dosage of opioids in postoperative period
24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to rescue analgesia
Time Frame: 24 hours
Time to first accepted of opioid analgesia
24 hours
Intraoperative level of analgesia
Time Frame: Intraoperatively
Analgesia-nociception index (ANI). Using "ANI Monitor".
Intraoperatively
Pain level
Time Frame: 2, 6, 12, 24 hours after completing the block

Assessing level of pain. Using pain scales. Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale for children from 3 to 7 years old. The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain, and 10 representing maximal pain. The numeric rating scale (NRS) is a verbal or written determination of a pain level on a scale from 0 to 10, in which 0 represents no pain and 10 represents excruciating pain.

Analgesia-nociception index (ANI). Using "ANI Monitor".
