Trial summary

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common abdominal surgery in Western countries, favored for its minimal invasiveness, leading to less pain, smaller scars, and quicker recovery. Despite its benefits, it is contraindicated in cases of bleeding disorders, peritonitis, hemodynamic instability, severe heart failure, and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy of Intraperitoneal Bupivacaine, Bupivacaine and Dexmedetomidine With Modified-Pericondrial Approach Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block (M-TAPA) in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgeries

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common abdominal surgery in Western countries, favored for its minimal invasiveness, leading to less pain, smaller scars, and quicker recovery. Despite its benefits, it is contraindicated in cases of bleeding disorders, peritonitis, hemodynamic instability, severe heart failure, and advanced COPD. Effective postoperative pain management is crucial for faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and lower costs, using techniques such as intravenous or intramuscular analgesics, epidural analgesia, and local anesthetic injections like TAP block or M-TAPA block. The TAPA block, introduced in 2019, involves applying local anesthetic to the costochondral junction, affecting thoracoabdominal nerves, with a modified version (M- TAPA) applying anesthetic to the lower surface only. Studies have shown M-TAPA's efficacy in reducing pain and analgesic use postoperatively. Postoperative pain from laparoscopic cholecystectomy mainly arises from inflammation in the gallbladder bed and pneumoperitoneum. This study aims to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of intraperitoneal bupivacaine, bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine, and M-TAPA block by assessing pain scores and analgesic consumption in a prospective, randomized, double- blind trial with 45 patients. Patients will be assigned to three groups: M- TAPA block, intraperitoneal bupivacaine, and intraperitoneal bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine, with an experienced anesthetist administering the blocks and evaluating outcomes to compare these pain management techniques.

What is being measured

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

  1. pain scores

    zero meaning "no pain" and 10 meaning "the worst pain imaginable

    Measured: Time Frame: 24 hours after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. total analgesic consumption

    total rescue analgesic consumption of patients will be evaluated

    Measured: 24 hours after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing application for postoperative analgesia in people with Regional Anesthesia Morbidity, run by Sivas State Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 26 Oct 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?

pain scores (time frame: Time Frame: 24 hours after the procedure). 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 26 Oct 2024.
