About this study
Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Erector Spinal Plane Block (ESPB) for Intraoperative and Postoperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy : A Randomized, Single-blind，Controlled Clinical Trial.
Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erector spinal block (ESB) for analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy（LC）.
Method: This study is a randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial. Pre-operative ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block will be performed in the ESPB group. Vertebral side block will be performed in the VSB group. And the control group will receive local anaesthesia after the surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative analgesia effect and side effects will be compared between the three groups.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Erector spinal plane blockProcedure or surgery
Also called Vertebral side block, Local block
After induction of general anesthesia, pre-operative ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block/ vertebral side block will be performed in the ESPB/VSB group. Local block will be performed at the surgical incisions after the surgery under general anesthesia. All the intervention will be performed without patients' awareness.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Erector spinal plane block group (ESPB group) | Experimental | After induction of general anesthesia, pre-operative ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block will be performed in the ESPB group. Receives: Procedure: Erector spinal plane block |
| Vertebral side block group (VSB group) | Active comparator | After induction of general anesthesia, pre-operative ultrasound-guided bilateral vertebral side block will be performed in the VSB group. Receives: Procedure: Erector spinal plane block |
| Local block group （LB group） | Placebo comparator | Local block will be performed at the surgical incisions after the surgery under general anesthesia. Receives: Procedure: Erector spinal plane block |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain intensity at rest(Hour 2)
Using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to evaluate the pain intensity at rest two hours after the surgery.
Measured: Hour 2
Pain intensity at rest (Hour 6)
Using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to evaluate the pain intensity at rest six hours after the surgery.
Measured: Hour 6
Pain intensity at rest (Hour 24)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Erector spinal plane block in people with Analgesia, run by Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital.
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 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Siyi YAN, MD (86+010-56119610, yansiyi03@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pain intensity at rest(Hour 2) (time frame: Hour 2). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Dec 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
