About this study

Official title: Comparison of Ultrasound-guided Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block and Wound Infiltration for Spinal Surgical Analgesia

The aim of our study is to determine the superior procedure in analgesia management by comparing the traditional wound infiltration technique with the ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spina plan block technique in spinal surgery patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients in ASA I-II-III risk group aged 18-80 who will undergo spinal surgery by Trakya University Faculty of Medicine, Brain and Nerve Surgery will be included. In this study, patient data will be collected in the form of file scanning. Intra-operative; hemodynamic data of patients; heart rate, blood pressure values, anesthetic and other drugs applied, surgery and anesthesia durations will be written from the anesthesia document after the operation is over. In the study, the application preferred by the anesthesiologist for the patient will not be intervened. The patients will be divided into three groups; wound infiltration technique was applied, ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spina plan block technique was applied and both techniques were applied together. After the operation; pain values will be calculated by VAS at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th and 24th hours of the patients. The patient's length of stay, satisfaction (excellent, good, moderate, poor) and methods used for analgesia will be recorded. With the results collected in our study, it will be determined which procedure is superior in pain management for spine surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Visual Analog ScoreOther

    Also called VAS

    The VAS is a widely used tool in research and clinical practice, and its reliability and validity in pain assessment has been clearly demonstrated. It consists of a 100 mm line. 0 cm no pain, 10 cm is associated with 'worst possible pain'. The patient is asked to mark the line to 'score' the pain. VAS values of 1cm - 3cm weak, 4cm - 6cm moderate, and >7cm are the indicators of "severe pain".

  • patient satisfactionOther

    The patient's satisfaction with postoperative pain treatment will be recorded. 4 options; excellent, good, medium and bad.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Analog Score

    It consists of a 100mm line. 0cm no pain, 10cm is associated with 'worst possible pain'. The patient is asked to mark a line to 'score' the pain. VAS values of 1cm-3cm weak, 4cm-6cm moderate, and >7cm are the indicators of "severe pain".After the operation; pain values will be calculated by VAS at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th and 24th hours of the patients.

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours score change

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. patient satisfaction

    The patient's satisfaction with postoperative pain treatment will be recorded. 4 options; excellent, good, medium and bad.

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours score change

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pain, Postoperative and Spinal Disease, run by Trakya 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 Jan 2023. 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?

Visual Analog Score (time frame: postoperative 24 hours score change). 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 Jan 2023.
