About this study

This study is aimed to determine the post operative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy by dividing patients into three different group. Group A will receive lidocaine 2mg/kg bolus at induction followed by 1.5mg/kg/hr infusion. Group B will receive bilateral subcostal TAP block with 0.375% 20ml Ropivicaine on each side. Group C will not receive any additional pain regime apart from the routine intraoperative analgesics. Pain score will be assessed post operatively for 24 hours at regular intervals using visual analog score.

Study groups in NCT05231941
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Lidocaine GroupExperimentalAfter induction of anaesthesia, a bolus of 2mg/kg intravenous lidocaine will be given followed by Lidocaine infusion at the rate of 1.5 mg/kg/hour which will be stopped at the end of surgery.
Receives: Drug: Lidocaine IV
TAP groupExperimentalAfter completion of procedure and before extubation, bilateral ultrasound guided subcoastal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block will be performed by the primary anaesthetist. After taking aseptic measures, with patient in supine position a high frequency (6-13 MHz) linear ultrasound probe will be placed obliquely just inferior to the costal margin over the anterior abdominal wall. With the help of a 21G or 22G, 100 mm needle, 20 ml of 0.375% Ropivacaine will be injected between rectus sheath and fascia of transversus abdominis muscle, bilaterally.
Receives: Drug: Ropivacaine
Control groupNo interventionNo additional intervention will be given to this group

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain score

    Pain score will be assessed using visual analog scoring system (0: No pain and 10: Worst Imaginable Pain)

    Measured: On arrival in PACU (0 hours)

  2. Pain score

    Pain score will be assessed using visual analog scoring system (0: No pain and 10: Worst Imaginable Pain)

    Measured: At 2 hours

  3. Pain score

    Pain score will be assessed using visual analog scoring system (0: No pain and 10: Worst Imaginable Pain)

    Measured: At 4 hours

  4. Pain score

    Pain score will be assessed using visual analog scoring system (0: No pain and 10: Worst Imaginable Pain)

    Measured: At 6 hours

  5. Pain score

    Pain score will be assessed using visual analog scoring system (0: No pain and 10: Worst Imaginable Pain)

    Measured: At 12 hours

  6. Pain Score

    Pain score will be assessed using visual analog scoring system (0: No pain and 10: Worst Imaginable Pain)

    Measured: At 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Post operative nausea and vomiting

    Nausea and vomiting score would be assess using Bellville scoring system (0: No nausea or vomiting, 1: nausea, 2: nausea and belching, 3: vomiting)

    Measured: On arrival, At 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours

  2. Patient Satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction will be assessed on Likert Scale (Completely Disagree, Disagree, Neutral, Agree, Completely Agree)

    Measured: At 24 hours or discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lidocaine IV and Ropivacaine in people with Post Operative Pain, run by Aga Khan University Hospital, Pakistan at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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 score (time frame: On arrival in PACU (0 hours)). The study lists 6 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 Jun 2024.
