An interventional study of Pericapcelar group nerve block and Fascia iliaca compartment block in Perioperative Analgesia and Hip Dislocation, Developmental, sponsored by Saint Petersburg State University, Russia. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in Russia. Open to participants aged 3 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-07-08.

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).
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

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
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 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.
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.
Opioids consumption
Total dosage of opioids in postoperative period
Time frame: 24 hours
Time to rescue analgesia
Time to first accepted of opioid analgesia
Time frame: 24 hours
Pain level
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".
Time frame: 2, 6, 12, 24 hours after completing the block
Intraoperative level of analgesia
Analgesia-nociception index (ANI). Using "ANI Monitor".
Time frame: Intraoperatively
Plan to share: Undecided
