About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Adding Magnesium Sulphate to Bupivicaine in Ultrasound Guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block in Patients Undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy

Modified radical mastectomy may be associated with severe post-operative pain, leading to chronic pain syndrome which usually requires optimal perioperative pain management.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomly into two equal groups (40 patients each) according to the adjuvant added to the local anesthetic (bupivacaine) in the serratus anterior plane block using a computer-generated random numbers concealed in sealed opaque envelopes. Group B: The patients will receive 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine plus 5 ml 0.9% normal saline with total volume 25 ml. Group BM: The patients will receive 20 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine plus 150 mg magnesium sulphate in 0.9% normal saline with a total volume of 25 ml.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing magnesium sulphate and bupivicaine in people with Cancer Breast and Chronic Pain Syndrome, run by Alexandria University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2022. 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact Rehab A. Abd Elaziz, Ass. Prof. (01001073703 ext. 020, trcium2002@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

assessment of the pain intensity (time frame: 24 hours). 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 2 Aug 2022.
