Trial summary

Previous studies have shown that PVB reduces pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting after breast cancer surgery when used in addition to general anesthesia or sedation. However, major breast cancer surgery involves areas beyond the breast tissue, such as pectoral musculature. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparisons the Analgesia of Paravertebral Block Combined With Thoracic Wall Block Versus Paravertebral Block Alone for Modified Radical Mastectomy in Breast Cancer

Previous studies have shown that PVB reduces pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting after breast cancer surgery when used in addition to general anesthesia or sedation. However, major breast cancer surgery involves areas beyond the breast tissue, such as pectoral musculature.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. intraoperative sedation requirement

    target controlled infusion (TCI) propofol driven by the Schnider model in effect site control titrated to reach conscious sedation defined as Observer Assessment of Alertness/Sedation score of 2 to 3

    Measured: during operation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. time to first request of analgesics

    Measured: postoperative 12 hours

  2. postoperative analgesic requirement

    Measured: postoperation to discharge

  3. side effects

    Measured: postoperation to within 24 hours after discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mastectomy, Modified Radical, run by Sun Yat-sen University.

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.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

intraoperative sedation requirement (time frame: during operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Apr 2016.
