About this study

Official title: Comparison of Analgesic Efficiency Between Serratus Block and Paravertebral Block in Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery. Double-blind Randomized Comparative Non-inferiority Study

Currently, the 2 main techniques of regional loco anesthesia in perioperative analgesic management of the thoracotomy remains the establishment of a thoracic epidural or paravertebral block. On the other hand, there is no standard of perioperative analgesic management in the case of thoracic surgery under video-thoracoscopy. The video-thoracoscopy, by its mini-invasive character, makes the levels of pain lower in post-operative questioning the benefit/risk balance of the paravertebral block. In 2013, Blanco published a new technique of locoregional anesthesia called the block Serratus allowing analgesia of a homolateral thorax hemi The latter by its simplicity of realization and its lesser risk is growing in thoracic surgery. This pilot study finds an equivalence in total oxycodone consumption in the first 2 post-operative days with a number of complications related to the serratus block lower than the serratus block compared to the paravertebral block in preoperative surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Serratus anesthesia techniqueProcedure or surgery

    locoregional anaesthesia allowing analgesia of the hemi-thorax by ultrasound guided single injection of naropeine 5mg/ml

  • Paravertebral anesthesia techniqueProcedure or surgery

    Ultrasound guided single injection of of naropeine 5mg/ml dose into the paravertebral space next to the thoracic spine

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain evaluation

    Assess the non-inferiority of the single-injection echo-guided serratus block, performed in video-thoracic surgery preoperative, on the post-operative mean pain during the first 48 hours, compared to the single-injection echo-guided paravertebral block with a simple numeric scale (from 0 to 10)

    Measured: 48 hours after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Walking test

    Improvement of walking distance during the test at 6 min post-operative

    Measured: 24 hours after the surgery

  2. Post operative morphine dose Post operative administrated morphin dose

    Mesure of intraoperative morphine administrated dose and total morphine administrated dose (in mg).

    Measured: 48 hours after the surgery

  3. Morphine side effect quantification

    Collection of adverse reactions due to morphine administration (nausea, vomiting, pruritus, urine retention, respiratory depression)

    Measured: 48 hours after the surgery

  4. Length of hospitalisation duration

    Number of hospitalisation days

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Serratus anesthesia technique and Paravertebral anesthesia technique in people with Anesthesia, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 14 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 9 Jun 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 France. 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 evaluation (time frame: 48 hours after the surgery). 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 9 Jun 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
