About this study

Official title: SHOULD THE ERECTOR SPİNAE PLANE BLOCK BE APPLIED IN THE PAIN MANAGEMENT OF PERCUTANOUS NEPHROLITOTOMY SURGERY?

This study investigates the effectiveness of the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in pain management of patients undergoing PNL.

Read the detailed description

Although percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PNL) is a minimally invasive procedure, it causes severe postoperative pain due to dilatation of the renal capsule and parenchymal duct and peritubal distension of the nephrostomy tube. PNL-related pain has a limited response to oral and intravenous treatments. The primary aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in pain management of patients undergoing PNL.

Our secondary aim is determining if any possible clinical effect of ESPB in terms of serial peak expiratory flow measurements, postoperative agitation score of the patient (Riker Score), ambulation time, length of hospital stay.

What participants receive

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

  • erector spinae blockProcedure or surgery

    we administer 15 cc of 0.5% bupivacaine between the erector spine muscle and the transverse process. The distribution of bupivacain was observed on ultrasound.

Study groups in NCT04474873
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1:Conventional intravenous analgesiaNo interventionConventional intravenous analgesia applied according to surgeon's preference
Group 2:ESPBActive comparatorA 6-13 MHz linear probe was used for ultrasound-guided ESPB (Logiq e, General Electric, USA,) performed at the T11 level. The transverse process was detected by sliding the transducer 3-4 cm laterally from the midline, and after identification of the transverse process, a 20-gauge 100mm insulated echogenic needle (Vygon locoplex, France) was used
Receives: Procedure: erector spinae block

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Analog Scale

    the amount of pain that a patient feels ranges across a continuum from none(0) to an extreme amount of pain(10) on a chart.

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours

  2. Dynamic Visual Analog Scale

    the amount of pain during mobilization, deep breathing or coughing that a patient feels ranges across a continuum from none(0) to an extreme amount of pain(10) on a chart

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours

  3. Peak Expiratory Flow Rate( PEFR)

    maximum speed of expiration as measured with a peak flow meter

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Time for first analgesic requirement

    Time between end of surgery and patients first analgesic demand

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. ambulation time

    first postoperative mobilization time of the patient

    Measured: 5 days

  3. length of hospital stay

    day of hospitalization

    Measured: 1 week

  4. Rikert Agitation Scale

    postoperative agitation score

    1. unarousable
    2. very sedated
    3. sedated
    4. calm and cooperative
    5. agitated
    6. very agitated
    7. dangerous agitation

    Measured: 24 hours

  5. nausea and vomiting

    incidence of nausea and vomiting

    Measured: 24 hours

  6. patient satisfaction with anesthesia and analgesia

    4 Likert scale ( the level of satisfaction of a patient ranges from satisfied (1) to nonsatisfied(4)

    Measured: 24 hour

  7. starting oral intake

    first oral intake

    Measured: 48 hours

  8. urinary catheter releated pain score(Visual Analog Scale)

    the amount of pain that a patient feels ranges across a continuum from none(0) to an extreme amount of pain(10) on a chart.

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours

  9. surgeon satisfaction with anesthesia and analgesia

    4 Likert scale ( the level of satisfaction of surgeon ranges from satisfied (1) to nonsatisfied(4)

    Measured: 24 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing erector spinae block in people with Postoperative Pain and Nephrolithotomy, Percutaneous, run by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent 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 7 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 17 Jul 2020. 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?

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?

Visual Analog Scale (time frame: postoperative 24 hours). The study lists 3 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 NCT04474873, 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 17 Jul 2020.
