Is pericapsular nerve group block superior to other regional analgesia techniques following total hip arthroplasty? a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare the safety and efficacy of pericapsular nerve group block (PENGB) with other regional analgesia techniques in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for relevant research from inception to May, 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing PENGB with other regional analgesia techniques in patients undergoing THA were included. The primary outcome was resting pain scores at 6 h after surgery. The NMA was made by using Stata 15.1 software. Potential risk of bias was assessed by using CINeMA. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were performed on the primary outcome.

Results

A total of 11 RCTs including 766 p
