About this study

Official title: Comparison of Morphine Consumption at Postoperative 24th Hour in Thoracotomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Importance of effective postoperative pain management is well known. The undesired effects of pain can be prevented with multimodal analgesia for the patient. Thoracotomy operations are associated with high levels of pain. With the use of ultrasound, many regional anesthesia techniques were described to provide effective postoperative analgesia. The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative effect of paravertebral block (PVB) and erector spinal plane block (ESPB) in thoracotomies.

Being tested
PVB, ESPB
Keywords
Postoperative pain, Thoracotomy, Paravertebral block, Erector spina plane block

What participants receive

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

  • PVBProcedure or surgery

    Paravertebral block will be performed before the surgery with 20 mL of %0.5 bupivacaine at T4 level.

  • ESPBProcedure or surgery

    Erector spinae plane block will be performed before the surgery with 20 mL of %0.5 bupivacaine at T4 level.

What is being measured

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

  1. Morphine consumption

    Morphine consumption (mg) of patients with patient controlled analgesia device

    Measured: Postoperative 24th hour

  2. NRS score

    Numerating rating scale of the patients (between 0 and 10, 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain ever possible.

    Measured: Postoperative 24th hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PVB and ESPB in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Kocaeli 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 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Morphine consumption (time frame: Postoperative 24th hour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Jan 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
