About this study

Official title: Bupivacaine With Dexmedetomidine Versus Bupivacaine Alone for Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Post-operative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Caesarean Section: A Comparative Study.

Transversus Abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional technique for providing analgesia of the anterolateral abdominal wall. TAP block are commonly given in patients who have undergone various abdominal as well as pelvic surgeries such as caesarean section, hysterectomy, appendicectomy and various laparoscopic surgeries. this study is conducted to analyse the effect of addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine in Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block.

Read the detailed description

Peripheral nerve block is becoming increasingly popular technique for postoperative pain relief and is also established as a part of multimodal analgesia and enhanced recovery program. Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional technique for providing analgesia of the anterolateral abdominal wall. TAP block are commonly given in patients who have undergone various abdominal as well as pelvic surgeries such as caesarean section, hysterectomy, appendicectomy and various laparoscopic surgeries.The Purpose of a TAP block is to infiltrate local anaesthetic agents in the plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles thereby providing effective postoperative analgesia. Earlier the blind TAP block (through lumbar triangle of Petit) was commonly given but with widespread use of ultrasound nowadays it is almost always given under ultrasound guidance. Accuracy and efficacy of TAP block is significantly improved under ultrasound guidance because under ultrasound guidance the anesthetic agent can be properly deposited in the neurovascular plane. Ultrasound provides real time and direct visualisation of needle during infiltration of local anaesthetic drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transversus Abdominis Plane Block with bupivacain Plus dexamethasone and Transversus Abdominis Plane Block with bupivacain in people with Post Operative Pain, run by Menoufia University at 1 site in Egypt.

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.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Post operative pain (time frame: 24 hours). 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 5 Mar 2024.
