- Original description
The primary aim of this study is to prospectively compare the effects of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block alone and the combination of PENG block with pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) on pain intensity in patients with chronic hip pain. As a secondary aim, the effects of both treatment modalities on hip function are intended to be evaluated using valid and reliable functional assessment scales. Through this study, it is aimed to demonstrate the clinical contribution of adding PRF to the PENG block and to identify a more effective and longer-lasting approach for the interventional treatment of chronic hip pain.Read full original descriptionShow less
Evaluation of the Clinical Effectiveness of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block and Pulsed Radiofrequency Applications in Chronic Hip Pain
The primary aim of this study is to prospectively compare the effects of the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block alone and the combination of PENG block with pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) on pain intensity in patients with chronic hip pain. As a secondary aim, the effects of both treatment modalities on hip function are intended to be evaluated using valid and reliable functional assessment scales. Through this study, it is aimed to demonstrate the clinical contribution of adding PRF to the PENG block and to identify a more effective and longer-lasting approach for the interventional treatment of chronic hip pain.
Inclusion: Presence of chronic hip pain lasting at least 3 months; Baseline Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score ≥ 4; Clinical and/or radiological diagnosis of hip osteoarthritis; Inadequate response to conservative treatments.
Exclusion: Coagulopathy or inability to discontinue anticoagulant therapy; History of previous hip arthroplasty; Local or systemic infection at the intervention site; Hip pain related to malignancy; Severe neurological deficit; Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
