About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Effect of Interfacial Pressure on Block Success During Anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block Application

The block has been shown to be the result of abdominal analgesia as a result of application between the quadratus lumborum (QL) muscle and the leaves in the thoracolumbar fascia.

In this block, local anesthetic drugs are administered between the quadratus lumborum (QL) muscle and the anterior leaf in the thoracolumbar fascia.

In this way, it has been reported that it provides a good analgesia as it relieves somatic pain better in upper and lower abdominal surgeries.

Read the detailed description

The mechanism of QLB analgesic contains many theories. This study includes the research relationship between the effect of fascial pressure and the success of the association block. We will use the ultrasound guided anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block. A peripheral nerve block catheter will be placed between the quadratus lumborum muscle and the psoas muscle with ultrasound.The pressure between the fascia and the pressure line added to the catheter tip will be measured.A peripheral nerve block catheter will be placed between the quadratus lumborum muscle and the psoas muscle with ultrasound.

What is being measured

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

  1. Interfascial Pressure (mm/hg)

    İnterfascial pressure will be measured the postoperative 24. hours through catheter.

    Measured: 24 hours.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. sensory block level

    After the application, the sensory block level at the 30 minutes after the block application and 30 minutes after the operation will be determined by cold test.

    Measured: peroperative 3 hours

  2. Visual Analog Scale

    Visual Analog Scale was used for pain.Pain intensity was measured using 0-10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS). (0=no pain, 10=intolerable pain)

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hours

  3. analgesic use

    analgesic use

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing inter-fascial pressure in people with Block, run by Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research 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 2 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 2 Feb 2021. 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?

Interfascial Pressure (mm/hg) (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 2 Feb 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
