Trial summary

Since many intravenous anesthetic agents administered to the mother can cross the placental barrier and cause fetal side effects, multimodal analgesia strategies with peripheral nerve blocks are preffered with greater safety in elective Cesarean section surgeries. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Transversalis Fascia Plane Block and Surgical Site Local Anesthetic Infiltration in Elective Cesarean Section Surgeries

Since many intravenous anesthetic agents administered to the mother can cross the placental barrier and cause fetal side effects, multimodal analgesia strategies with peripheral nerve blocks are preffered with greater safety in elective Cesarean section surgeries.

The primary objective of this study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores (NRS) in elective cesarean section patients who receive a transversalis fascia plane block versus those who receive surgical site local anesthetic infiltration in addition to spinal anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

After Cesarean sections, several factors play a role in the formation of postoperative pain, including parietal stimulation originating from the surgical incision, visceral stimulation originating from the peritoneum, and manipulation of intra-abdominal structures.

To enhance patients' rehabilitation during the postoperative period, promote lactation and infant care, and reduce hospital stays, the most appropriate postoperative analgesia method should be selected.

Since many intravenous anesthetic agents administered to the mother can cross the placental barrier and cause fetal side effects, regional anesthesia techniques are preferred with greater safety in elective Cesarean section surgeries.

In the postoperative period, multimodal analgesia strategies can be used for pain control, and one of these strategies is postoperative peripheral nerve blocks. Ultrasound guided transversalis fascia plane block is one of the preferred methods for postoperative analgesia in cesarean section patients.

The primary objective of this study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores (NRS) in elective cesarean section patients who receive a transversalis plane block versus those who receive surgical site local anesthetic infiltration in addition to spinal anesthesia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of postoperative opioid consumption between two groups via Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) device

    Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is a system of opioid delivery that consists of an infusion pump interfaced with a timing device. Intravenous tramadol consumption will be recorded via PCA device, then it will be documented in mg/kg units.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative pain assessment with Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    In a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), patients are asked to choose from 1 to 10. 1: no pain 10: worst pain experienced

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Postoperative Pain Management Technique in people with Opioid Use and Postoperative Pain, run by Marmara 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 7 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 Aug 2024. 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?

Comparison of postoperative opioid consumption between two groups via Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) device (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 22 Aug 2024.
