About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Bilaterally Ultrasonic Guided Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block for Perioperative Pain Management in Maxilofacial Cancer Surgeries

Patients will be randomly allocated according to computer - generated tables to one of two groups, group (A) ultrasonic guided sphenopalatine block using local anasthetic, group (B) ultrasonic guided sphenopalatine block using saline. Before induction anesthesia the following will be assessed, time needed to perform the technique, time till onset of the block, distribution of the block (Opthalmic, Maxillary, Mandibular) by needle brick.Intra and post- operatively the following will be assesse the quality of operative filed every 30 min intra-operatively using a pre- defined average category scale (ACS) (from 0 to 5), End tidal Sevo Flurane concentration will be recorded intra- operatively every 5 minutes, The total amount of Nitroglycerine used to achieve the target MAP and frequency of propranolol usage will be recorded,emergence time, postoperative VAS score and amount of meperdine used for rescue analgesia.

Being tested
sphenopalatine block with local anesthetic, sphenopalatine block with saline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sphenopalatine block with local anesthetic and sphenopalatine block with saline in people with Maxillofacial Tumors, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 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 29 Oct 2019. 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Post - operative analgesia (time frame: 24 hours postopeatively). 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 29 Oct 2019.
