About this study

Official title: Is Painless ESWL Possible? Analgesic Efficacy of Ultrasound Guided Quadratus Lumborum Block During Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is widely used for the treatment of urinary tract calculi; however, the vast majority of patients do not tolerate the procedure without analgesia and sedation.

Lots of methods have been tried to control this pain (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, alpha 2 agonists, transversus abdominis plane block with long-acting local anesthetics, paravertebral block, local anesthetics infiltration, lidocaine/prilocaine cream).

The quadratus lumborum block was first described by Blanco. QL block is performed as one of the perioperative pain management procedures for abdominal surgery. QL block provides anesthesia and analgesia on the anterior and lateral wall of the abdomen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Bupivacaine and Lidocaine in people with Pain, Acute, run by Ataturk 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 14 Nov 2017. 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?

Visual Analog Pain Score (time frame: Intraoperative 30 minutes). 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 NCT03080363, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Nov 2017.
