Autonomic and Immune Effects of Regional Anesthesia in Total Hip Arthroplasty (PENG neuromodu)

3. november 2026 oppdatert av: Poznan University of Medical Sciences

Effects of Three Regional Anesthesia Strategies on Autonomic Regulation, Systemic Inflammatory Response, and Postoperative Recovery Following Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Trial

Surgical trauma activates the sympathetic nervous system and induces a systemic inflammatory response, both of which may adversely affect postoperative recovery. Regional anesthesia has traditionally been used for perioperative analgesia; however, emerging evidence suggests that peripheral nerve blocks may also modulate autonomic and immune pathways. This prospective randomized double-blind trial aims to compare three regional anesthesia strategies in patients undergoing elective total hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia and to determine their effects on autonomic regulation, systemic inflammatory response, postoperative pain, opioid consumption, quality of recovery, and early functional outcomes.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with substantial surgical trauma, resulting in activation of the sympathetic nervous system and a systemic inflammatory response that may contribute to postoperative pain, delayed functional recovery, and perioperative complications. Although regional anesthesia techniques are widely used to improve postoperative analgesia, increasing evidence suggests that they may also influence autonomic regulation and neuroimmune interactions beyond their analgesic effects. The extent to which different regional anesthesia strategies modify perioperative autonomic and inflammatory responses remains incompletely understood.

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial aims to compare three regional analgesic strategies in patients undergoing elective primary total hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia: ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block, local infiltration analgesia (LIA), and the combination of PENG block with LIA. All patients will receive standardized perioperative anesthetic and multimodal analgesic management, with the regional analgesic technique being the only study intervention.

The primary objective is to determine whether different regional anesthesia strategies differentially influence perioperative autonomic regulation and systemic inflammatory response. Autonomic function will be assessed using perioperative hemodynamic parameters and vasopressor requirements, while systemic inflammatory activation will be evaluated using routinely available inflammatory biomarkers, including the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and other laboratory markers measured before and after surgery.

Secondary objectives include comparison of postoperative pain intensity at rest and during movement, opioid consumption, time to first rescue analgesia, quality of recovery assessed using the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, time to first ambulation, length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, and the incidence of postoperative complications.

The study is designed to determine whether combining peripheral nerve blockade with periarticular infiltration provides additive benefits not only for postoperative analgesia but also for modulation of autonomic-immune interactions and enhancement of postoperative recovery. The findings may improve understanding of peripheral nerve blocks as a form of perioperative neuromodulation and support optimization of regional anesthesia strategies in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

Beskrivelse

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adults aged ≥18 years.
  • Scheduled for elective primary total hip arthroplasty due to primary hip osteoarthritis.
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III.
  • Planned spinal anesthesia with one of the study regional analgesia techniques.
  • Ability to understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Refusal or inability to provide written informed consent.
  • Revision hip arthroplasty, simultaneous bilateral hip arthroplasty, or hip arthroplasty performed for an acute fracture.
  • Known hypersensitivity to ropivacaine or other medications required for the study procedures.
  • Contraindication to spinal anesthesia, PENG block, or local infiltration analgesia, including infection at the injection site or a coagulation disorder or antithrombotic treatment that precludes safe performance of the planned procedures.
  • Pre-existing neurological or neuromuscular disease that substantially affects sensation or motor function in the operated limb or prevents reliable assessment of study outcomes.
  • Cognitive impairment or a communication disorder that prevents understanding of the study procedures or reliable completion of pain assessments.
  • A medical condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes participation or the planned anesthetic procedures unsafe.
  • Planned use of an additional regional analgesic technique outside the study protocol.
  • Participation in another interventional study that could interfere with the assessment of the study outcomes.
