About this study

Local thermal ablation therapy of tumor is a rapidly developing minimally invasive therapy for lung tumors in recent years. This study evaluated the efficacy of thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) for anaesthesia during ablation surgery of lung tumor.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is a serious threat to human health and life. Local thermal ablation therapy of tumor is the focus of domestic and overseas research in the past decade.Thoracic paravertebral nerve block (TPVB) is the technique of injecting local anaesthetic in the paravertebral space to anesthetizes the spinal nerve roots and sympathetic chain,which will produces ipsilateral and somatic blockade.The present study was designed to evaluate the analgesic effect and safety of TPVB in the ablation surgery of lung tumor.

After obtaining approval from the Hospital Ethics Committee and informed written consent from the patients,30 adult patients scheduled for Local thermal ablation therapy of lung tumours were recruited. Patients were excluded if they had a history of psychiatric illness, chronic pain, regular analgesic usage or there were contraindications to performing a TPVB, such as chest wall deformity, severe coagulopathy, local infection and allergy to local anaesthetic drugs. The study lasted a total of six months.

During the preoperative visit, all patients received the explanation of overall research approach.After entering the CT fluoroscopy room, peripheral veins and routine monitoring that included electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, and noninvasive arterial blood pressure were obtained in all patients.Thoracic paravertebral block was performed 20 minutes before the Local thermal ablation therapy began.The degree of pain was assessed using VAS score; at performing TPVB,the beginning of surgery, 6 and 24 hours after ablation surgery.Dezocine will be given as remedial analgesia.Following the operation, transferred the patients to the observation area where the vital signs were monitored for 30 min.Assessing and record the degree of patients and surgeons satisfaction for anesthetic management.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group NB (thoracic paravertebral block Group)OtherThoracic paravertebral block(TPVB) is performed 20 minutes before the ablation surgery began,30 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine was totally injected in T3-4 and T5-6 spinal segment(the block segment can be adjusted according to the tumor site) under the ultrasound guidance.
Receives: Other: Ropivacaine

What is being measured

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

  1. The degree of pain that patients feel who undergo ablation surgery is assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS).

    All patients are instructed on the use of the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain assessment before surgery, then anesthetist evaluate the analgesic effect of TPVB for the ablation surgery with the VAS during surgery(0="no pain"and 10=the "worst pain").

    Measured: During surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ropivacaine in people with Lung Cancer, run by Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 29 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?

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 degree of pain that patients feel who undergo ablation surgery is assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS). (time frame: During surgery). 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 29 Jun 2022.
