Trial summary

Effective analgesia is very important in terms of preventing respiratory, thromboembolic complications and providing early mobilization after open thoracotomy.

About this study

Official title: Rhomboid Block Versus Erector Spinae Block in Thoracotomy

Effective analgesia is very important in terms of preventing respiratory, thromboembolic complications and providing early mobilization after open thoracotomy.

Although thoracic epidural analgesia is gold standart method for this aim, it causes common side effects such as hypotension, dural puncture,motor block In recent years, with the effective use of ultrasonography, different regional anesthesia methods have been developed to prevent such complications

Read the detailed description

A total of 75 patients will be included in the study in three groups: group ESPB, group RIB and control group (group K). Under general anesthesia, patients who will undergo both ESPB and RIB will be applied block with a 22 G and 100 mm block needle, accompanied by ultrasonography, and 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine. Apart from the standard peroperative analgesia protocol applied to all three groups, no additional procedure will be performed in group control. Postoperative analgesic consumption amount, first analgesic requirement time and visual analog scale (VAS) values of the patients will be recorded.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • rhomboid blockOther

    Rhombid block, on the other hand, is a method which make up analgesia by providing lokal anestethetic enjection between intercostal muscles and rhomboid muscles and blocks between t3- t9 levels

  • erector spinae blockOther

    The Erector spinae plan block is a recently developed regional block method .Adminestering of lokal anesthetic between the transver proces and erector spinae muscles provides the dorsal and ventral branch blokades of regional spinal nerve and make up the analgesia.İt have a wide range usage such as surgery of thoracal and abdominal area

  • controlOther

    For postoperative analgesia, all patients (including Rhomboid block and Erector spinae block) will be administered 100 mg tramadol and 1 gr paracetamol. No additional intervention other than this medical approach will be applied in the control group.

Study groups in NCT04294394
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
rhomboid blockWith a 6-13 Mhz linear USG probe, at the thoracal level of 6-7 vertebra in the sagittal position, in the cranio-caudal direction with a 22 G and 100 mm block needle in the medial of the scapula, after entering the facial plane between the rhomboid muscle and the intercostal muscle, 0.25% bupivacaine 20 ml of the local anesthetic solution will be given.
Receives: Other: rhomboid block
erector spinae groupAfter the patient is taken in the lateral position, the probe T5 is 3 cm lateral to the spinous process, 22 G and 100 mm block needle with 6-13 Mhz linear ultrasonography and the facial plane between the transverse proces and the erector spina muscle is entered, and 20 ml of a local anesthetic solution consisting of 0.25% bupivacaine will be given.
Receives: Other: erector spinae block
control groupFor postoperative analgesia, all patients (including Rhomboid block and Erector spinae block) will be administered 100 mg tramadol and 1 gr paracetamol. No additional intervention other than this medical approach will be applied in the control group.
Receives: Other: control

What is being measured

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

  1. rhomboid block versus erector spinae block in thorachotomy

    In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of rhomboid block and erector spinae block in pain control after thoracotomy

    Measured: the study will comlete in three month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia, run by Kocaeli Derince Education and Research Hospital at 2 sites 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 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 3 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 2 sites 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?

rhomboid block versus erector spinae block in thorachotomy (time frame: the study will comlete in three month). 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 3 Feb 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
