About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Retrolaminar Block as Opioid Free Anesthesia and Enhanced Recovery After Posterior Lumber Spine Discectomy: A Randomized Controlled Study

Opioid-free intraoperative protocols have been successfully used in specific surgical populations with equal or superior results to classic general anesthetic approaches. In instances where opioid-free anesthesia may not be entirely feasible, there exists a continually growing body of evidence that the modern anesthesiologist has a potent pharmacologic and regional anesthetic arsenal that can reduce the amount of opioids required to effectively treat pain.

Retrolaminar block is considered a new, easy and simple technique with decreasing incidence of complications such as hypotension, pleural and nerve injury. Its efficacy had been investigated in trauma patients

Read the detailed description
  • Null hypothesis: Intraoperative retrolaminar block will not produce opioid sparing anesthetic effect and enhanced recovery after posterior lumber spine discectomy.
  • Alternative hypothesis: Intraoperative retrolaminar block will produce opioid sparing anesthetic effect and enhanced recovery after posterior lumber spine discectomy.
Being tested
Standard analgesia (paracetamol +fentanyl), Retrolaminar block with bupivacaine + magnesium sulfate + dexamethasone

What participants receive

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

  • Standard analgesia (paracetamol +fentanyl)Procedure or surgery

    Patients will receive standard analgesia (paracetamol 15mg/kg plus fentanyl 1ug/kg) iv

  • Retrolaminar block with bupivacaine + magnesium sulfate + dexamethasoneProcedure or surgery

    Patients will receive intraopertative retrolaminar block: 15 ml of bupivacaine 0. 25 % plus 2ml magnesium sulfate 10% (200mg) plus 2ml (8mg) dexamethasone on each side by slipping the needle of injection on the bone of spinous process and lamina.

What is being measured

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

  1. The recovery time

    The recovery time (time from discontinuation of isoflurane to first response to verbal command) will be recorded, then the patient will be transferred to the post anesthesia care unite (PACU) on standard monitors.

    Measured: up to 1 hour postoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. pain intensity

    pain intensity measured using visual analogue scale from 0= no pain to 10= worst pain

    Measured: up to 24 hours postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard analgesia (paracetamol +fentanyl) and Retrolaminar block with bupivacaine + magnesium sulfate + dexamethasone in people with Opioid Free Anesthesia, run by Zagazig 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 16 Dec 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.

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?

The recovery time (time frame: up to 1 hour postoperative). 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 16 Dec 2022.
