About this study

Official title: Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block and Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block Comparison on Postoperative Pain and the Need for Morphine in Gynecological Surgery Patients Who Underwent Median Incision in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital

The goal of this double blind randomized controlled trial is to compare transversus abdominis plane block and erector spinae plane block in gynecological surgery patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • What are the numerical post-operative pain scores in these two groups?
  • Is there any significant difference in the numerical post-operative pain scores between subjects who underwent TAP block and subjects who underwent ESP block?
  • What are the differences in the time needed for additional morphine in these two groups?
  • Is there any significant differences in the time needed for additional morphine between subjects who underwent TAP block and subjects who underwent ESP block?

What participants receive

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

  • Transversus Abdominis Plane Block using 0.25% BupivacaineProcedure or surgery

    TAP block regional anesthesia with ultrasound guidance with administration of 20 mL of 0.25% Bupivacaine in the abdominal wall before the operation is completed. The patient was also fitted with a morphine PCA device with a background dose of 5 µg/kgBW/hour and a rescue dose of 1 mg with a lockout interval of 10 minutes.

  • Erector Spinae Plane Block using 0.25% BupivacaineProcedure or surgery

    Regional anesthesia ESP block under ultrasound guidance with 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine at the tip of the transverse process at the T9 level before completion of surgery. The patient was also fitted with a morphine PCA device with a background dose of 5 µg/kgBW/hour and a rescue dose of 1 mg with a lockout interval of 10 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative Numerical Rating Scale

    The degree of pain assessment is classified based on the Numeric Rating Scale pain assessment scale) with the lowest scale being no pain (value 0), up to the heaviest pain scale (value 10) when still, namely when the patient does not make any movement and moves, namely when mobilization is carried out on the left side and right tilt

    Measured: 24 hours post operative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Total postoperative morphine requirements

    The total amount of morphine required by study subjects over 24 hours to reduce postoperative pain

    Measured: 24 hours post operative

  2. Time of first need for analgesic rescue

    The time required by study subjects to press the PCA to obtain analgesics was first calculated from the time it was installed in the recovery room

    Measured: 24 hours post operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transversus Abdominis Plane Block using 0.25% Bupivacaine and Erector Spinae Plane Block using 0.25% Bupivacaine in people with Nerve Block and Pain, Postoperative, run by Universitas Padjadjaran at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 8 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 22 Sep 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 Indonesia. 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 Numerical Rating Scale (time frame: 24 hours post operative). 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 22 Sep 2023.
