About this study

This study evaluates the efficacy of the the pecto-intercostal fascial plane block (PIF block) for the anesthesia of the intercostal nerves anterior branches and assesses the association of the serratus block with a PIF block for the breast surgery.

To obtain a correct prospective clinical trial completion we have to begin a new series of inclusion.

Read the detailed description

Breast surgery is one of the most painful post-operative surgery. This surgery is well known to induce postoperative chronic pain. The paravertebral block, because of its efficacy and less invasive nature than epidural analgesia, is quickly becoming the reference technique for pain management of major breast surgery.

Peripheral regional anesthesia for the breast surgery appeared in the past few years. Among these techniques are the PEC block, Serratus block and more recently the pecto-intercostal fascial plane block (PIF block).

Currently in our hospital in every day's practice, we made an association of the serratus block and the PIF block, which allows for a complete block of both the laterals branches of intercostal nerves (with the serratus block) and of anterior branches of intercostal nerves (with the PIF block). Therefore, this association of blocks may lead to a complete analgesia of the breast, while the serratus block alone only allows for an analgesia of the lateral part of the breast.

This technique was described by Fajardo et al. They evoked the possibility of the association serratus and PIF blocks and described this technique with a patient, but to our knowledge no evaluation of the efficacy of this procedure was made.

The objective of your study is to analyze this technique through a collection form that evaluates the satisfaction and post-operative morphine consumption of women receiving this association of blocks before a general anesthesia for a unilateral mastectomy with homolateral total lymphadenectomy.

This is a purely observational study that assesses our current practice in this type of surgery.

we already included a patient series but the clinical trial registration was made to late to do it correctly. To obtain a correct prospective clinicaltrials registration completion we have to begin a new series of inclusion.

  • Evaluation of a breast double blockProcedure or surgery

    we made an association of the serratus block and the PIF block, which allows for a complete block of both the laterals branches of intercostal nerves (with the serratus block) and of anterior branches of intercostal nerves (with the PIF block). Therefore, this association of blocks may lead to a complete analgesia of the breast, while the serratus block alone only allows for an analgesia of the lateral part of the breast.

    The objective is to analyze this technique through a collection form that evaluates the satisfaction and post-operative morphine consumption of women receiving this association before a general anesthesia for a unilateral mastectomy with homolateral total lymphadenectomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative morphine consumption until 72 hours after the surgery.

    The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the postoperative morphine consumption until 72 hours after the surgery.

    Measured: 3 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pain levels during the first 72 hours.

    Pain levels on a numeric pain rating scale were recorded at rest and with arm mobilization during the first 72 hours.

    Measured: 3 days

  2. Level of comfort during the first 72 hours

    level of comfort during the first 72 hours was recorded (the 4 levels-scale used was: excellent, good, medium and bad).

    Measured: 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mastectomy, run by Maison de Santé Prostestante de Bordeaux Bagatelle at 1 site in France.

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 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 28 Nov 2018. 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 France. 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.

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?

postoperative morphine consumption until 72 hours after the surgery. (time frame: 3 days). 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 28 Nov 2018.
