About this study

Official title: The Effect of Local Anesthetic Infiltration Into Wound Site or Erector Spina Plan Block on Stress Hormone Response and Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations in abdominal surgery.

Effective analgesia in the postoperative period; It is of great importance in terms of acceleration of recovery, prevention of atelectasis, reduction of endocrine and metabolic stress response, reduction of thromboembolic complications, protection of cognitive functions, prevention of chronic pain development, and reduction of hospital stay . Intravenous paracetamol, NSAID/cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors, opioids, local anesthetic infiltration in the port area, intraperitoneal local anesthetic insufflation or plan blocks can be used in the treatment of postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Operation, tissue trauma, anesthesia, drugs given to the patient, type of anesthesia, blood loss, temperature changes and pain cause postoperative stress response

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations in abdominal surgery. Abdominal and shoulder pain are frequently seen in patients in the postoperative period.

Laparoscopic surgery is considered the gold standard in abdominal surgery because of its low cost, less postoperative pain, early mobilization, and short hospital stay. Effective analgesia in the postoperative period; It is of great importance in terms of acceleration of recovery, prevention of atelectasis, reduction of endocrine and metabolic stress response, reduction of thromboembolic complications, protection of cognitive functions, prevention of chronic pain development, and reduction of hospital stay . Intravenous paracetamol, NSAID/cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors, opioids, local anesthetic infiltration in the port area, intraperitoneal local anesthetic insufflation or plan blocks can be used in the treatment of postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations, the results of pain reduction and analgesic consumption in incisional local anesthetics are variable.

Operation, tissue trauma, anesthesia, drugs given to the patient, type of anesthesia, blood loss, temperature changes and pain cause postoperative stress response .

In various surgeries, regional anesthesia for post-operative purposes, plan blocks, infiltration or insufflation methods were found to suppress the stress response.

In this study, the investigator aimed to compare the effects of local anesthetic infiltration at the wound site and erector spine plane block on stress hormone response and postoperative analgesia in patients who will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • wound site local anesthesic infiltrationProcedure or surgery

    : at the end of the operation; 0.5% bupivacaine (1mg/kg) was infiltrated into the fascia muscles and preperitoneal space in equal doses to the wound at the 4 trocar entry site.

  • Erector spina plane blockProcedure or surgery

    Erector spina block was applied to the group, after the end of the operation, the patients were placed in the left lateral decubitus position and the spinous process of the 8th thoracic vertebra was marked under sterile conditions. After visualizing the spinous process with ultrasound (EsoateMyLab™30 Gold, 8-18 MHz, Genova, Italy), the linear probe (8-12 MHz) was shifted 3 cm laterally from the midline in the cranial-caudal direction. Trapezius, erector spinae muscles, transverse process and pleura were visualized, and 20ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected into the validated interval by directing the peripheral nerve block needle in the cranio-caudal direction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Stress hormone response

    Blood was taken and recorded in a yellow capped gel biochemistry tube (SSTTM II Advance Tubes) for the measurement of stress hormone glucose(70-100 mg/dl), prolactin(4.79-23.3µg/dL), and cortisol(60.2-184 µg/dL) 1 hour before and 1 hour after the operation.

    Measured: 5 hour

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Visual Analog Pain Scale

    visual analog for pain consist of a horizontal line, usually 100 mm in length. the left end of the line signifies no pain which is depicted by a smiling face while the right end signifies the worst possible pain with a frowning face. this visual depiction of pain levels helps the patient to communicate about the intensity of their pain.

    Measured: 24 hour

  2. Analgesia period

    The time from the end of the operation to the first analgesic requirement was determined as the "analgesia period" and this time was recorded.

    Measured: 24 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing wound site local anesthesic infiltration and Erector spina plane block in people with Post Operative Pain and Erector Spinae Plane Block, run by Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 13 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 Jan 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Stress hormone response (time frame: 5 hour). 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 Jan 2025.
