About this study

Official title: Adjuvant Effect of Dexmedetomidine for the Ultrasound Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Patients Undergoing Laparascopic Cholecystectomy: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

A total of 60 adult patients American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I,II, III were randomized to Group B (n = 30) receiving TAP block with 0.25% bupivacaine and Group D (n = 30) with 0.5 mcg/kg dexmedetomidine added to 0.25 % bupicavaine followed by general anaesthesia. Total local anaesthetic volume was standardised with 20 ml each sides of the abdomen. Hemodynamic responses to surgical incision and intraoperative fentanyl consumption were noted. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores were assessed on the emergence, at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 24 h. Time to first rescue analgesic (when VAS ≥4 cm or on demand), duration of postoperative analgesia, incidence of postoperative nausea-vomiting were also noted.

Read the detailed description

Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been shown to provide postoperative pain relief following various abdominal and inguinal surgeries. The aim of this randomised controlled trial was to assess the effect of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks on opioid requirements and median hospitai stay, postoperative nause and vomitting in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Dexmedetomidine and 0.25 % bupivacaine in people with Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting, run by Kırıkkale 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 1 inclusion and 3 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 2015. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

opioid requirement (time frame: 24 hr). 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 4 Sep 2015.
