About this study

Official title: The Effect of Ultrasound Guided Rectus Sheath Block on Postoperative Analgesia After Laparotomy With Transverse Incision in Children

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the ultrasound guided rectus sheath block (RSB) on both intraoperative sevoflurane consumption and postoperative analgesia.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, randomized study.Forty patients with American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) I-II physical status, aged 3-15 years.Patients are randomly allocated into two groups and are administered general anesthesia and before the beginning of surgery ultrasound guided RSB with 0.2 ml.kg-1, 0.25% of levobupivacaine and thirty minutes before the surgery the loading dose of morphine of 0.1 mg.kg-1 intravenously are received in group RSB and group M, respectively. Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device with 0.01 mg.kg-1 bolus dose of morphine and 30 minutes lockout interval is set up postoperatively in both groups.

Being tested
ultrasound guided rectus sheath block, Morphine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ultrasound guided rectus sheath block and Morphine in people with Pain, Postoperative, run by Cukurova University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain Scores on the FLACC scale (time frame: Twenty-four hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02115087, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2014.
