About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Postoperative Analgesic Effects of Infraorbital Nerve Block by Levobupivacaine vs Ropivacaine After Cleft Palate Surgery: A Double-blinded Randomized Trial

Cleft palate repair is a common surgery in children.. As such children with cleft palate tend to have a compromised airway due to associated congenital anomalies like Pierre Robin syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome etc. After surgical correction of cleft palate, they are more prone to develop post-operative respiratory difficulty due to narrowed airway, increased secretion, pain and sedation caused by opioids.

Hence, regional block, using local anesthetics, becomes a good option in this surgery.

The supremacy of bilateral infraorital block using levo bupivacaine over intravenous fentanyl as well as over peri-incisional infiltration in has been shown .Levobupivacaine was developed after Ropivaciane was noted to be associated with less no of adverse events.. Ropivacaine has been used for peripheral block in children for surgical pain.

Though the use of Levobupivacaine in regional blocks in facial surgeries has been well established, studies are still needed to establish its supremacy over Ropivacaine in cleft palate surgeries

Read the detailed description

When compared with ropivacaine, levobupivacaine is a newer, safer, longer acting local anesthetic with rapid onset and prolonged duration of analgesia and similar or more pronounced nerve blocking effects, depending on the concentration. Hence the present study is aimed to compare the effectiveness of 0.375% levobupivacaine and 0..375% ropivacaine in infra orbital block for cleft palate surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in the pain score from base line using the verbal rating scale (scale range: 0-5; 0: no pain, 5: strongest pain) on the day of surgery, as well as on the first and second postoperative days.

    Pain is measured using verbal rating scale

    Measured: Till the second post operative day.

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 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Contact AJIT KUMAR, MD (9910789377, ajitdr.ajit@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in the pain score from base line using the verbal rating scale (scale range: 0-5; 0: no pain, 5: strongest pain) on the day of surgery, as well as on the first and second postoperative days. (time frame: Till the second post operative day.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
