About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of the Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAP-Block) Associated With Opioid Spinal Anesthesia on Analgesia After Cephalic Duodenopancreatectomy

Duodenopancreatectomy is a major, risky surgery that causes significant post-operative pain. Optimizing perioperative analgesia remains a challenge, and requires multimodal management, notably involving locoregional analgesic techniques.

The thoracic epidural helps reduce perioperative pain, as well as certain postoperative complications. However, epidural analgesia is not without effects, and the data remains quite heterogeneous depending on the studies regarding its benefits and risks: more frequent hypotension, significant technical failures, length of hospitalization depending on the series, marginal benefit clinically of little relevance... And the existence of contraindications to the epidural such as the performance of vascular resections requiring curative intraoperative anticoagulation also limit its daily use.

The search for alternatives to the epidural in this context has seen the emergence of the use of intrathecal injection of Morphine and the performance of TAP Block perioperatively for duodenopancreatectomies. Morphine spinal anesthesia is an analgesic technique that is simpler and just as effective as the thoracic epidural. The TAP Block has also proven its effectiveness in major colorectal surgeries.

The literature on the subject remains poor and very few studies have focused on alternatives to thoracic epidurals. If the superiority of TAP Block and spinal anesthesia have been evaluated in isolation, no study has yet compared the effectiveness of the combination of TAP Block-Spinal anesthesia compared to that of TAP Block alone in the management of post pain. duodenopancreatectomy.

At the Strasbourg University Hospital, the Anesthesia team in hepatic and pancreatic surgery made a change in practice in June 2023: from a TAP Block, the team performs a TAP-Block combined with a unique Morphinic spinal anesthesia preoperatively for cephalic duodenopancreatectomy (CDP). The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this change in practice.

What is being measured

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

  1. Consumption of Morphine in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

    Quantitative variables are described using the usual position and dispersion statistics, namely mean, median, minimum, maximum, standard deviation and quantile. The qualitative variables are described with the numbers and proportions of each modality. The Chi2 test will be used to study the crossover between several qualitative variables. The risk of the first kind is set at 5% for all analyses.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Martin PETIT, MD (33 3 88 12 70 75, martin.petit@chru-strasbroug.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Consumption of Morphine in the first 24 hours postoperatively. (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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?
