What participants receive

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

  • PVB morphineDrug

    The PVB was performed under ultrasonographic guidance in the sitting position. Surgical disinfection of thoracoabdominal paravertebral area was done. A linear high-frequency transducer (10-12 MHz, Sonosite, Bothell, WA, USA) was used. The scanning process (Longitudinal out-of-plane technique) was started at 5-10 cm lateral to the spinous process of thoracic vertebrae to identify the rounded ribs and parietal pleura underneath. The transducer is then moved progressively more medially until the transverse processes are identified as more squared structure deeper to the ribs. A 100 mm needle was inserted out-of-plane to contact the transverse process of thoracic vertebra and then, walked off above the transverse process 1-1.5 cm deeper searching for loss of resistance injecting 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine + 3 mg morphine for group PVB morphine in incremental doses of 3 ml.

  • PVB bupivacaineDrug

    the same steps mentioned in group PVB morphine but the solution used for paravertebral block contain bupivacaine only 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine injected in in incremental doses of 3 ml.

What is being measured

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

  1. 24 hour postoperative morphine consumption

    the quantity of analgesic (morphine) consumed by the patient in the first postoperative 24 hour

    Measured: the first postoperative 24 hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. VAS pain score (visual analogue pain score)

    a scle in which 0 = no pain and 10 = maximum tolerable pain

    Measured: we will assess every 4 hour in the first postoperative 24 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PVB morphine and PVB bupivacaine in people with Acute Pain, 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 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

24 hour postoperative morphine consumption (time frame: the first postoperative 24 hour). 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 11 Feb 2019.
