About this study

Postoperative analgesia in breast surgery is a difficult and overworked issue due to etensive surgery and complex innervation of the breast. Erector spinae plane block (ESB) is a new defined and promising regional anesthesia technique for thoracic analgesia. Main purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided ESB with thoracic paravertebral block - the golden standard method for postoperative regional analgesia technique in breast surgery.

Being tested
Intravenous morphine patient controlled device, Erector Spinae Plane Block, Thoracic Paravertebral Block

What is being measured

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

  1. Morphine consumption

    All patients will be provided with IV morphine PCA and morphine consumption after 24 hour postoperatively will be recorded.

    Measured: 24 hour postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Numering Rating Scale scores for pain

    Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain will be used. The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) is an 11-point scale for patient self-reporting of pain. It is for adults and children 10 years old or older. 0 means no pain and 10 means most imaginable pain

    Measured: 24 hour

  2. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting will be recorded

    Measured: 24h

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Erector Spinae Plane Block and Thoracic Paravertebral Block in people with Postoperative Pain and Breast Cancer, run by Kocaeli 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 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Morphine consumption (time frame: 24 hour postoperatively). 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 NCT03480958, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
