Efficacy and safety of pericapsular nerve group block in total hip arthroplasty: a meta-analysis and systematic review

CONCLUSIONS: Based on the latest findings, PENG has been shown to effectively decrease pain scores within six and 24 hours following total hip arthroplasty. However, its effectiveness in pain control diminishes after 48 hours. Additionally, PENG has demonstrated the ability to reduce opioid consumption without an accompanying increase in adverse drug events.PMID:37987992 | DOI:10.23736/S0375-9393.23.17618-8
