About this study

Official title: Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Perioperative Intravenous Lidocaine for Postoperative Pain Control in Patients Undergoing Thoracotomy: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind Controlled Clinical Trial

Thoracotomy surgery is the most painful of all surgical procedures. Inadequate postoperative pain control in these patients may cause serious morbidity related to pulmonary, cardiovascular and emotional systems. Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) was first described in 2016 and, it is frequently used for postoperative analgesia in thoracic surgery. Intravenous lidocaine exhibit analgesic activity through both the peripheral and central nervous system. Intravenous lidocaine has been shown to reduce postoperative pain intensity and accelerate postoperative recovery in many surgeries.

The investigators aimed to compare the effect of lidocaine infusion and erector spinae plane block on postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores.

Being tested
Bupivacaine Hcl 0.25% Inj, Saline Solution for Block, Saline Solution intravenously, Lidocaine

What is being measured

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

  1. Opioid Consumption

    First 24 hours total fentanyl consumption with patient controlled analgesia

    Measured: First 24 hours total opioid consumption

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Visual analog pain score

    Post operative pain will be evaluated with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of 0-10 (0= no pain and 10= worst imaginable pain) at first hour postoperatively.

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bupivacaine Hcl 0.25% Inj, Saline Solution for Block and Saline Solution intravenously in people with Thoracic Diseases, run by Ataturk 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 2 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 16 May 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 (time frame: First 24 hours total opioid consumption). 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 NCT04221880, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 16 May 2022.
