What participants receive

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

  • erector spinae block for group EProcedure or surgery

    . The patient will be placed in the prone position. A high-frequency linear probe or a curved array probe, depending on the BMI of the patient, will be placed in longitudinal alignment, 2-3cm lateral to the vertebral column. The transverse processes of the vertebrae at the level of surgery, the erector spinae muscle, and the psoas muscle will be identified. A 5- or 8-cm 22-G ultrasound needle will be inserted with an in-plane technique in a cephalad-to-caudal direction until bone contact with the top of the transverse process is reached. After slight retraction of the needle, 20ml of bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected behind the erector spinae muscle. The same procedure will be repeated on the contralateral side.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
erector spinae block group (E)Experimentalpatients will receive bilateral ultrasound guided erector spinae block before the lumbar spine surgery starts.(20ml of bupivacaine 0.25%) after receiving general anesthesia
Receives: Procedure: erector spinae block for group E
control group (C)No interventionpatients will receive standard general anesthesia for lumbar spine surgery according to hospital protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. the postoperative 24 hours morphine consumption

    the analgesic effect of erector spine block will be assessed postoperative by numeric rating scale (NRS), if NRS is more than 3 the patient will receive a rescue dose of 5 milligrams of morphine

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mean Blood pressure in mmHg

    Measure mean blood pressure of patients postoperative every 4 hours

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  2. Heart rate

    Measure heart of the patients postoperative every 4 hours

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  3. Patient satisfaction

    Measure patient satisfaction by asking the patient if he is satisfied or not " yes or no"

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  4. First time of mobilization to a chair

    Measure the time to first mobilization to a chair in minutes

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing erector spinae block for group E in people with Lumbar Disc Disease, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 9 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 18 Feb 2022. 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact amgad A hamdi, MSc (01002400389 ext. +2, amgadhamdi@med.asu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the postoperative 24 hours morphine consumption (time frame: 24 hours postoperative). 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 NCT05247021, 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?
