About this study

Official title: Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Intercostal Nerve Block Combined With Patient-controlled Intravenous Analgesia in Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery

A randomized prospective trial to test the non-inferiority of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in comparison with intercostal nerve block combined with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia in Thoracoscopic lung surgery

Read the detailed description

For patients undergoing thoracic surgery, postoperative pain greatly limited their recovery.Multimodal analgesia have shown good efficacy but without reaching full pain relief.

The primary goal of this study is to observe the effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block in comparison with intercostal nerve block combined with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia in video assisted thoracic lung surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Intercostal Nerve Block with PCIADrug

    Intercostal nerve block consists in the injection of Ropivacaine (4 ml,0.5%) in related intercostal spaces. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia regimen is conducted with sufentanil.

  • Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB)Drug

    Erector Spinae Plane Block consists in the injection of Ropivacaine (20ml, 0.5%), in the anatomical plane between the Erector Spinae muscles and transverse process, laterally to the spinous process of T5 . The catheter was inserted and secured in place under ecographic guidance, and a patient-controlled regional anesthesia regimen was conducted with 0.2% ropivacaine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain score (NRS)

    Numeric Rating Scale is an 11-point scale used by doctors to evaluate patients' pain, where 0 is no pain and 10 the worst imaginable pain. For postoperative patients, an higher score shows inadequate analgesia and worse outcome.

    Measured: 4 hours from the end of procedure

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pain score (NRS)

    Numeric Rating Scale is an 11-point scale used by doctors to evaluate patients' pain, where 0 is no pain and 10 the worst imaginable pain. For postoperative patients, an higher score shows inadequate analgesia and worse outcome.

    Measured: 8, 24,48 hours from the end of procedure

  2. Analgesics consumption

    Analgesics include opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

    Measured: During operation,4, 8, 24,48 hours from the end of procedure

  3. Incidence of side effects and complication during study

    Side effects and complication

    Measured: During operation,4, 8, 24,48 hours from the end of procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intercostal Nerve Block with PCIA and Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in people with Lung Diseases, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 27 Mar 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 China. 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?

Pain score (NRS) (time frame: 4 hours from the end of procedure). 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 NCT03682354, 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.

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 27 Mar 2019.
