Trial summary

Patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) have a higher risk of perioperative complications and postoperative pain will affect quality of recovery (QoR) resulting in longer hospitalization time and higher hospital costs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Scalp Nerve Block Combined With Intercostal Nerve Block on Quality of Recovery After Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) have a higher risk of perioperative complications and postoperative pain will affect quality of recovery (QoR) resulting in longer hospitalization time and higher hospital costs. Scalp nerve block (SNB) combined with intercostal nerve block (ICNB)can alleviate postoperative pain while effect of them on postoperative recovery quality of patients diagnosed with PD was unclear. Therefore, the investigators conducted a randomized controlled trails to provide a novel method for enhanced recovery and early prevention and treatment of acute pain after DBS surgery.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • scalp nerve block combined with intercostal nerve block using 0.5% ropivacaineOther

    Participants randomized to the SNB group will receive general anesthesia combined with scalp nerve block and intercostal nerve block with 0.5% ropivacaine, which was performed exclusively by an attending anesthesiologist.An attending anesthesiologist will select the site of SNB based on the surgical incision site. Scalp nerve was blocked including greater occipital nerve (2-3ml), superficial temporal nerve (2-3ml), trochlear nerve (2-3ml) and supraorbital nerve (2-3ml). The total volume in scalp nerve block will not exceed 10 ml.Ultrasound-guided unilateral ICNB will be performed at the level of T4-T5 next to the sternum.10-15ml of 0.5% ropivacaine will be injected into the intercostal spaces where incision locates after negative aspiration.

What is being measured

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

  1. The 15-item QoR score

    The 15-item QoR score is used to asses quality of recovery after surgery which ranges 0-150 and higher QoR-15 scores indicate better postoperative recovery

    Measured: 24 hour after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The 15-item QoR score

    The 15-item QoR score is used to asses quality of recovery after surgery which ranges 0-150 and higher QoR-15 scores indicate better postoperative recovery

    Measured: 72 hour and 1 month after surgery

  2. The NRS score

    Postoperative pain will be quantified using the NRS ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain at all" and 10 means "the worst pain imaginable"

    Measured: before discharge from PACU, at 24 hour, 72 hour and 1 month after surgery

  3. The patients with PONV

    postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Measured: 24 hour after surgery

  4. Consumption of opioid

    The consumption of opioid reffers to remifentanil consumption

    Measured: during operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing scalp nerve block combined with intercostal nerve block using 0.5% ropivacaine in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Changhai Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wenbin Lu (13004162573, 13004162573@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The 15-item QoR score (time frame: 24 hour after surgery). 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 NCT05353764, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2022.
