About this study

Official title: Comparison of Erector Spina Plane Block and Lumbar Plexus Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Femoral Fracture Surgery

The aim is to clinical trials compare the lumbar plexus block method with the erector spinae plan block method in terms of analgesic efficacy and possible complications. İn patients for femur fracture surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. is erector spinae plane block as effective as lumbar plexus block for postoperative analgesia in femur fractures? 2. Is erector spinae plane block effective for reducing opioid consumption compared to lumbar plexus block?

Being tested
ESP block, LP block

Model description
Group 1: The patients in the first group (ESP Group) will be applied ultrasound guided ESP block at the lateral position at the end of the surgery. ESP will be performed with a posterior approach, under ultrasound guidance, by imaging the muscles and the needle. Group 2: At the end of the surgery, patients in the second group (LP Group) will have an appropriate level of LP block with ultrasound guidance and, if necessary, using a neurostimulator.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ESP block and LP block in people with Femur Fracture and Erector Spinae, run by Sakarya University 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 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Postoperative opioid consumption (time frame: postoperative 24 hours). 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 NCT05817916, 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?
