About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Postoperative Analgesic Effect of Ultrasound Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block and Subcostal Transverse Abdominis Plane Block in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, Randomised Controlled Study

Erector Spinae Plane Block is a newly defined regional anesthesia technique. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that erector spinae plane block could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic Subcostal transverse abdominis plane block (STAP) is another regional anesthesia technic used for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Main purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae block and STAP in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

What participants receive

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

  • Standard Pain Followup and MonitorizationOther

    Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain score will be recorded from recovery room followed by 2.-4.-6.-12.-24.hours. Intravenous meperidine administration at 0.5 mg / kg rescue analgesia was determined in patients with a NSR score of 4 and over in the postoperative collection room. It is planned that the patient will continue to follow the hourly NRS score in ward. Intramuscular diclofenac will be administered in this period if NRS 4 and if it is over, intravenous 0.5 mg / kg meperidine will be administered if NRS score is 4 or more after 2 hours. Salvage analgesic needs and times will be noted in detail, and the use of rescue analgesics, as well as NRS scores at designated hours, will be kept in a statistical evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain Score

    Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. NRS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. analgesic consumption

    Tramadol consumption in Patient Controlled Analgesia device and additional and rescue analgesic using

    Measured: at PACU (postanesthetic care unit), 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th and 24th hours

  2. block related complication

    local anesthetic systemic toxicity during and after block procedure , pneumothorax and vascular puncture during block procedure

    Measured: in this block performing time, till patients anesthetized right after block procedure, at PACU, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th and 24th hours

  3. opioid complication

    sedation, itching, nausea and vomiting

    Measured: at PACU (postanesthetic care unit), 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th and 24th hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Baskent 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 2 inclusion and 10 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 26 Dec 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT04116008, which also lists 2 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Dec 2019.
