Trial summary

High percent of patients experience chronic pain following breast cancer surgeries thus proper perioperative pain control is crucial to lessen the incidence of such pain. Several techniques are adopted to control perioperative pain, these techniques include drugs as opioids and adjuvants as well as regional blocks. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Dexmedetomidine and Dexamethasone as Adjuvant to Bupivacaine in Ultrasound-guided Bilevel Erector Spinae Plane Block in Modified Radical Mastectomy

High percent of patients experience chronic pain following breast cancer surgeries thus proper perioperative pain control is crucial to lessen the incidence of such pain. Several techniques are adopted to control perioperative pain, these techniques include drugs as opioids and adjuvants as well as regional blocks. Erector spinae plane block is a regional technique that is used efficiently to control perioperative pain during and following breast cancer surgeries.

High percent of patients experience chronic pain following breast cancer surgeries thus proper perioperative pain control is crucial to lessen the incidence of such pain. Several techniques are adopted to control perioperative pain, these techniques include drugs as opioids and adjuvants as well as regional blocks. Erector spinae plane block is a regional technique that is used efficiently to control perioperative pain during and following breast cancer surgeries. Adding adjuvant drugs as dexmedetomidine or dexamethasone can augment the local anesthetic effect for the regional block used.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bilevel Erector spinae plane block, Bilateral Erector spinae plane block with dexamethasone and Bilateral Erector spinae plane block with dexmedetomidine in people with Analgesia, run by National Cancer Institute, Egypt 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 4 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 Oct 2024. 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?

Total morphine consumption in the first 24 hours postoperatively. (time frame: First 24 hours postoperatively). 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 Oct 2024.
