About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Guided Superficial Cervical Plexus Block Versus Greater Auricular Nerve Block for Tympanomastoid Surgery Pain

Analgesia following tympanomastoid surgery is critical for the prevention of postoperative . There are very few regional anesthesia methods used to achieve this goal.

Read the detailed description

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of Ultrasound guided superficial cervical plexus block versus greater auricular nerve block for on postoperative tympanomastoid surgery analgesia.

Being tested
IV patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) tramadol, ultrasound guided superficial cervical plexus block, ultrasound guided Great Auricular nerve block
Medical subject headings
Agnosia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IV patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) tramadolDrug

    Also called Tramadol

    Tramadol infusion (PCA): 400 mg tramadol, IV 4 mg/mL tramadol solution into 100 mL normal saline; PCA settings: 0.3 mg/kg bolus, 10 mg Demand dose and 20 min lock out interval, six-hour limit infusion to attain 100 mg. Maximum daily dose was set at 400 mg.

  • ultrasound guided superficial cervical plexus blockDrug

    Also called superficial cervical plexus block

    ultrasound guided superficial cervical plexus blockage with 10 ml % 0.25 bupivacaine

  • ultrasound guided Great Auricular nerve blockDrug

    Also called Great Auricular nerve block

    ultrasound guided Great Auricular nerve blockage with 5 ml % 0.25 bupivacaine +IV patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) tramadol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound guided superficial cervical plexus block and ultrasound guided Great Auricular nerve block in people with Pain Management and Nerve Block, run by Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital.

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 20 Mar 2018. 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?

Visual Analog Pain Scale (time frame: Postoperative 24 hours). 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 20 Mar 2018.
