About this study
Official title: Comparison Between Ultrasound Guided Transversalis Fascia Plane Block and Transversus Abdominis Plane Block on Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Cesarean Section Surgery
Inadequate pain control after cesarean section surgery causes postpartum depression, persistent pain and delayed mother-infant bonding. The investigator's aim is to asses whether ultrasound guided transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) or transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block would improve postoperative quality of recovery and decrease postoperative opioid consumption after cesarean section surgery.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Transversalis Fascia Plane BlockProcedure or surgery
40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses will be injected by the anesthesiologist under ultrasonography guidance between transversus abdominis muscle and transversalis fascia bilaterally
Transversus Abdominis Plane BlockProcedure or surgery
40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses will be injected by the anesthesiologist under ultrasonography guidance in the fascial plane between internal oblique muscle and transversus abdominis muscle bilaterally
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Transversalis Fascia Plane Block (TFPB) Group | Active comparator | At TFPB group, the block will be performed by ultrasound guidance after completion of surgery. TFPB will be performed under ultrasonography guidance using a linear 6 to 13 megahertz ultrasound probe by the anesthesiologist. In TFPB group patients will receive 40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses between transversus abdominis muscle and transversalis fascia bilaterally. Receives: Procedure: Transversalis Fascia Plane Block |
| Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block Group | Active comparator | At TAP block group, the block will be performed by ultrasound guidance after completion of surgery. TAP blocks will be performed under ultrasonography guidance using a linear 6 to 13 megahertz ultrasound probe by the anesthesiologist. In TAP block group patients will receive 40 ml %0.25 bupivacaine divided into 2 equal doses in the fascial plane between internal oblique muscle and transversus abdominis muscle bilaterally. Receives: Procedure: Transversus Abdominis Plane Block |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Postoperative quality of recovery
Postoperative quality of recovery will be assessed by Obstetric Quality of Recovery 11 Turkish (ObsQoR-11T) score
Measured: Postoperative 24th hour
Secondary outcomes (3)
Postoperative opioid consumption
Morphine consumption will be assessed by checking patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device records and fentanyl consumption will be assessed by checking patient daily drug order records
Measured: Postoperative 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th 12th and 24th hour
Numeric Rating Scale
A blinded nurse will assess postoperative pain during resting and movement at postoperative 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th 12th and 24th hour by using 11-point Numerical Rating Scale which ranges from '0' (means no pain) to '10' (means worst pain imaginable)
Measured: Postoperative 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th 12th and 24th hour
Adverse Reactions
Nausea, vomiting, constipation, urinary retention and skin rash/pruritus will be assessed
Measured: Postoperative 24th hour

The investigator's aim is to asses whether ultrasound guided transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) or transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block would improve postoperative quality of recovery and decrease postoperative opioid consumption after cesarean section surgery.

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 quality of recovery (time frame: Postoperative 24th hour). 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 NCT05999981, which also lists 3 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 13 Nov 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
