About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Quadratus Lumborum Block 2 and 3 (QLB 2 and QLB 3) on Post-operative Analgesia in Cesarean Section Surgery

This study evaluates the post-operative analgesic effects of quadratus lomborum block 2 and 3 (QLB 2, 3) in patients having cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia will be performed to all patients for the surgery.

Read the detailed description

In this study, patients are divided into two groups. After the spinal anesthesia is performed and cesarean section surgery is over; QLB 2 block will be performed to patients in Group A ; while QLB 3 block will be performed to patients in Group B.

In addition, patient controlled analgesia (PCA) will be used in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Group A - Patients in group A will have QLB 2 block after the surgery. In addition, patient controlled analgesia (PCA) will be used in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Group B - Patients in group B will have QLB 3 block after the surgery. In addition, patient controlled analgesia (PCA) will be used in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery

    Morphine consumption in the first 24 hours will be counted by IV patient controlled analgesia device (PCA). Patients will be able to request opioids via PCA device when the nrs score is above 4.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Post-operative acute pain

    Pain status will be evaluated based on NRS scores. Pain status will be evaluated at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24. hours after surgery. Each NRS is scores 0-10. (0=no pain ; 10=pain as bad as can be)

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Regional anesthesia in people with Analgesia and Acute Pain, run by Ondokuz Mayıs 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 9 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 19 Apr 2021. 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?

Opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery (time frame: 1 day). 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 19 Apr 2021.
