About this study

Official title: Interscalene Block Alone Versus Interscalene Block With Erector Spinae Plane Block for Shoulder Arthroscopy Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of interscalene brachial plexus block alone versus interscalene brachial plexus block +Erector spinae plane block in anesthesia for shoulder arthroscopy.

Read the detailed description

Regional anesthetic techniques can control pain effectively, both at rest and on movement, allowing earlier mobilization without the adverse effects of opioids . Among the various types of regional anesthetic techniques, the interscalene brachial plexus block is a gold standard used nerve block technique for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing shoulder surgery, as it has consistently been shown to significantly control.

Being tested
interscalene with Erector spinae plane block group, Interscalene group

What participants receive

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

  • interscalene with Erector spinae plane block groupOther

    patients will receive interscalene brachial plexus block using 10 ml of bupivacaine 0.5% and US guided Erector spinae plane block at T2 using 10 ml of bupivacaine 0.5%.

  • Interscalene groupOther

    patients will receive interscalene brachial plexus block using 15 ml of bupivacaine 0.5%.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative fentanyl consumption

    If the patient complains of pain during surgery, fentanyl will be administered 1 µg/kg IV increments.

    Measured: Intraoperative up to 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Amount of 24hrs postoperative rescue analgesic consumption

    Intravenous meperidine (0.5 mg/kg) will be administered if numerical pain rating scale (NRS) score of more than 3.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

  2. Degree of pain by Numerical pain rating scale

    Postoperative pain (using NRS at admission) will be measured at PACU, 1h, 2hr. 4hr, 6hr, 8hr, 12hr, 18hr, and 24hrs postoperative. NRS (0 represents "no pain" while 10 represents "the worst pain imaginable").

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

  3. Time to first request of rescue analgesia.

    Rescue analgesia in the form of IV meperidine (0.5 mg/kg) boluses if NRS >3. Time to the 1st rescue analgesic request will be recorded.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing interscalene with Erector spinae plane block group and Interscalene group in people with Interscalene Block and Erector Spinae Plane Block, run by Tanta 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 5 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 26 Mar 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?

Intraoperative fentanyl consumption (time frame: Intraoperative up to 4 hours). 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 26 Mar 2024.
