About this study

Official title: Research of the Effects of Pectoralis Nerve Block II and Erector Spina Plan Block in Breast Cancer Surgery

This study evaluates the analgesic effects of pectoralis nerve block (PECS II) and erector spinae plane block (ESP) in patients having segmental mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Each one-third of patients will have ESP block and pectoralis nerve block (PECS II) 30 min before general anesthesia , while other one-third of patients will have only general anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

It has been proven that PECS II and ESP both supply effective analgesia in the first 24 hours after mastectomy. But they do so by different mechanishms.

This study is to survey that ESP and PECS II may supply acute and chronic analgesia by reducing pain scores in the first 24 hours and 3 months after the surgery, also the comparison of the analgesic activity among themselves for acute / chronic pain and opioid consumption will be searched.

In this study patients are divided into three groups. Patients in PECS group will have PECS II block in a separate section from the operating rooms (PNB practice room). In addition, patient controlled analgesia (PCA) will be used in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Patients in ESP group will have ESP block in a separate section from the operating rooms (PNB practice room). In addition, PCA will be used in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Patients in control group will not be performed nerve block. Only general anesthesia (GA) will be performed in the operation room. In addition, PCA will be used in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

    PECS II block will be performed 30 min. before general anesthesia.

  • Erector spine plane blockProcedure or surgery

    Also called ESP

    ESP block will be performed 30 minutes before general anesthesia.

  • ControlOther

    Only general anesthesia will be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery

    Morphine consumption in the first 24 hours will be counted by IV PCA. Patients will be able to request opioids via PCA device when the vas score is 4 points or more when the arm is in the resting position.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Post-operative acute pain

    Pain status will be evaluated based on VAS scores in two different positions: arm at rest and arm in abduction. Pain status will be evaluated at 1-3-6-12-24. hours after surgery. Each VAS is scores 0-10. (0=no pain ; 10=pain as bad as can be)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Remifentanil consumption during the surgery

    Following induction of general anesthesia, anesthesia maintenance will be continued with sevoflurane to BIS 40-60 (bispectral index). When the BIS is between 40-60, remifentanil infusion rate will be changed considering ± 20% changes in blood pressure compared to baseline values.The total amount of remifentanil consumed will be recorded.

    Measured: During the surgery

  3. The incidences of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV)

    The patients will be evaluated according to the five-stage verbal descriptive PONV scale. If it is 3 points or more, ondansetron 4 mg IV will be administered. Wait for 8 hours for the next dose of ondansetron. (0 = None, 1 = Slight nausea, 2 = Moderate nausea, 3 = Once vomiting, 4 = vomiting more than one)

    Measured: 1 day

  4. The number of patient required rescue analgesia

    The number of patient requires rescue analgesic will be recorded at 1-3-6-12-24. hours after surgery

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Post-operative chronic pain

    Pain status will be evaluated in the third month after surgery based on VAS scores in two different positions: arm at rest and arm in abduction. Each VAS is scores 0-10. (0=no pain ; 10=pain as bad as can be)

    Measured: 3. month after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pectoralis nerve block II and Erector spine plane block in people with Anesthesia and Analgesia, run by Ondokuz Mayıs 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 12 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 18 Aug 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?

Opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery (time frame: 1 day). 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 18 Aug 2021.
