About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effectiveness of Ultrasound-guided Transversalis Fascia Plane Block and Transversus Abdominis Plane Block on Postoperative Pain in Caesarean Section : a Prospective Randomized Trial

The goal of this prospective randomized study was to compare the efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block and transversalis fascia plane block for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

[Is transversalis fascia plane block more effective in postoperative analgesia? ]

[Is there a difference between the duration of postoperative first analgesia requirement? ] Since the pain scores after the block at the end of the operation will be evaluated during the postoperative 24 hours, the participants will be asked to give a value between 0 and 10 in certain time periods.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, randomized trial was conducted at Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital by the Declaration of Helsinki. After ethics committee approval (decision no: 2022-74, date: 09.03.2022) and written informed consent was obtained from all patients, the trial was conduct-ed according to Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines.A total of 150 patients were divided into two groups: transversal fascia plane block (TFPB group) and Transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB group).VAS values, time to first analgesic requirement, analgesic requirements, nausea \& vomiting and pruritus were evaluated for 24 hours postoperatively (6th hour (T2), 12th hour (T3), 24th hour .

Being tested
Patients undergoing transversalis fascia plane block, Patients undergoing transversus abdominis plane block
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Patients undergoing transversalis fascia plane blockProcedure or surgery

    The investigators applied a transversalis fascia plane block to the group of patients who had a cesarean section under spinal anesthesia to prevent postoperative pain.

  • Patients undergoing transversus abdominis plane blockProcedure or surgery

    The investigators applied a transversus abdominis plane block to the group of patients who had a cesarean section under spinal anesthesia to prevent postoperative pain.

What is being measured

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

  1. time of first analgesic need

    Our primary goal was to meet the initial analgesic requirement times.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. visuel analog scale

    Our secondary aim was to compare postoperative pain scores. The first 24 hours postoperatively were evaluated.Visual analog scale(VAS) was used to assess postoperative pain.6th, 12th, 24th hour VAS values were recorded For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Patients undergoing transversalis fascia plane block and Patients undergoing transversus abdominis plane block in people with Anesthesia; Sexual and Analgesia, run by Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 17 Jul 2023. 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?

time of first analgesic need (time frame: 24 hours postoperatively). 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 NCT05758233, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Jul 2023.
