What participants receive

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

  • Erector Spinae Plane block ( Group ı)Procedure or surgery

    ESP Block will perform preoperative to all patients in ESP block group. Patients in all groups will provide with intravenous patient- controlled analgesia device containing morphine for postoperative analgesia.

  • Serratus Anterior Plane block ( Group ıı)Procedure or surgery

    SAP Block will perform preoperative to all patients in SAP block group. Patients in all groups will provide with intravenous patient- controlled analgesia device containing morphine for postoperative analgesia.

  • Control Group (GROUPIII)Procedure or surgery

    Control group will receive no intervetion. Patients in all groups will provide with intravenous patient- controlled analgesia device containing morphine for postoperative analgesia.

What is being measured

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

  1. opioid consumption

    In the recovery room, all patients will given a patient- controlled analgesia device containing morphine 0.5 mg/ml, set to deliver a 1mg bolus dose of morphine with an 15 min lockout time and 6 mg 1 h limit.Total morphine consumption during the 48 hours postoperative period will recorded at 6 time intervals ( 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48. hours).

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery

  2. Verbal analog Pain Scores on rest and movement

    A Research assistant, blinded to the group allocation, interviewed patients and collected data at 6 time intervals ( 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48. hours) in the 48 hours postoperatively. Patients were asked to rate their pain using verbal analog scale, where 0= no pain and 10= worst pain possible.

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidences of adverse effects (like nausea and vomitting)

    Incidences of nausea and vomitting during the 48 hours postoperative period will recorded at 6 time intervals (2,4,6,12,24,48. hours)

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Erector Spinae Plane block ( Group ı) and Serratus Anterior Plane block ( Group ıı) in people with Thoracic Diseases, run by TC Erciyes 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 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?

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?

opioid consumption (time frame: 48 hours after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03904082, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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?
