Pain Control After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Trial Determining Efficacy of Fascia Iliaca Compartment Blocks in the Immediate Post-Operative Period
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Fascia iliaca compartment block, Placebo, and 1 other intervention for Arthritis of Hip. Completed, enrolled 122 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is a regional block that anesthetizes the femoral, obturator, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves around the hip. The purpose of this study is to determine whether FICB can reduce postoperative pain and increase progress with physical therapy after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This randomized, double-blind, clinical trial will randomize patients to receive either a FICB or placebo after THA. The primary outcomes will be pain scores reported by the patient post-operatively.

Timeline
Interventions
The patient will be brought to the block room within 30 minutes of arriving in recovery. An injection of local anesthetic into the fascia iliaca compartment using ultrasound guidance will be administered. The patient will then be transported back to recovery.
The patient will be brought to the block room within 30 minutes of arriving in recovery. An ultrasound probe will be placed to the skin and a blunt needle will be touched to the patient's skin in the area that a fascia iliaca compartment block would be performed. The patient will then be transported back to recovery.
A one time dose of 40 milliliters of 0.5% bupivacaine will be injected into the fascia iliaca compartment
