Trial summary

Major spine surgery causes severe postoperative pain. The primary objective of this randomized controlled study is to compare the effect of ultrasound (US)-guided superficial erector spinae plane (ESP) block on 48-hour postoperative cumulative opioid requirements with standard (opioid-based) analgesia.

About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Placement of Superficial Erector Spinae Plane Block in Spine Surgery; An Effective Approach at Enhanced Recovery After Spine Surgery

Major spine surgery causes severe postoperative pain. The primary objective of this randomized controlled study is to compare the effect of ultrasound (US)-guided superficial erector spinae plane (ESP) block on 48-hour postoperative cumulative opioid requirements with standard (opioid-based) analgesia.

Read the detailed description

46 patients (ASA I-II-III) between 18 and 65 years of age, who were to undergo spine surgery, were randomized and divided into two groups. (23 patients in each of the control and superficial ESP groups). Superficial ESP block was performed for SESP group and standard (opioid-based) analgesia performed in the control group. Postoperative analgesia was provided by intravenous morphine infusion using a patient-controlled analgesia device. Postoperative numeric rating scale values were the primary outcome measure. 24-hour total morphine consumption was secondary outcome measure.

What participants receive

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

  • superficial erector spina plane blockProcedure or surgery

    The investigators performed superficial erector spina plane block to that patient group for postoperative analgesia

  • Standard (opioid-based) analgesiaProcedure or surgery

    The investigators performed intravenous opioid infusion with PCA to that patient group for postoperative analgesia

What is being measured

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

  1. NRS scores of patients

    NRS at 1, 6,12, 18, 24, 36, 48th hours

    Measured: 48 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative 48-hours total morphine consumption

    This will be measured only one time by pca device at the 48th hour after surgery.

    Measured: 48 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing superficial erector spina plane block and Standard (opioid-based) analgesia in people with Postoperative Pain and Spine Deformity, run by Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital 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 7 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 Mar 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?

NRS scores of patients (time frame: 48 hours postoperatively). 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 Mar 2022.
