Trial summary

In recent years, as a part of multimodal analgesia, paravertebral blocks are replacing epidural analgesia due to the less side effects. Although the risk of pneumothorax is the most feared complication in paravertebral blocks, retrolaminar block (RLB) -which is a paravertebral block- significantly reduces this risk… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: the Effect of Retrolaminar Block on Post Operative Analgesia After Lumbar Vertebra Surgery

In recent years, as a part of multimodal analgesia, paravertebral blocks are replacing epidural analgesia due to the less side effects. Although the risk of pneumothorax is the most feared complication in paravertebral blocks, retrolaminar block (RLB) -which is a paravertebral block- significantly reduces this risk due to the anatomical technique of procedure. The investigators aim to investigate the effect of retrolaminar block with ultrasound- guided on perioperative analgesia for patients undergoing lumbar vertebra surgery.

Read the detailed description

Retrolaminar block will applie before general anesthesia induction when patients will be awake and under midazolam (0.03 mg/kg) sedation and standardized monitoring at the preoperative block area in sitting position using in-plane approach. After sterilising the skin, the investigators will perform block by using 7-18 MHz convex ultrasound probe ( Esaote My Lab 6 US Machine, Florance, Italy) and a 22-gauge, 100-mm Stimuplex needle (B. Braun, Germany). The investigators will pass in a sagittal plane from medial to lateral at the mid-lomber level, and identified the hyperechoic laminae, transverse processes, ribs and pleura.

The L3 laminae will be identified approximately lateral of the spinous process. The needle will insert in-plane, cephalad to caudad. After lamina contact and negative aspiration, 20 ml bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected at low pressure with intermittent negative aspiration on each side and spread of local anesthetic between laminae and paraspinous muscles will be seen without pain or paresthesia. Then 30 minutes later, the patient will be taken to the operating room.

After general anesthesia prosedure, the patients will evaluate whether they have pain throughout 24 hours after the operation. The pain scores will be evaluated with visuel analogue scale.

What is being measured

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

  1. change of pain throughout postoperative 24 hours

    visuel analogue scale is used for post operative pain evaluation. it is range from 0 to 10. 0 is used for no pain, 10 is used severe pain. the investigors will evaluate the postoperative pain with visuel analogue scale

    Measured: change in postoperative 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing retrolaminar block tecnique in people with Postoperative Pain, 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 2022. 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?

change of pain throughout postoperative 24 hours (time frame: change in postoperative 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04209907, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Apr 2022.
