About this study

Official title: Dexmedetomidine Combined With Bupivacaine for Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Bupivacaine Alone for Postoperative Pain Control of Posterior Lumbosacral Spine Fixation Surgeries

As the posterior lumbosacral spine fixation surgeries are common spine procedures done nowadays due to different causes and as this spine procedure is mostly accompanied with moderate to severe postoperative pain, so it is necessary to find an effective and efficient postoperative analgesia for patients with this surgery.

Being tested
Dexmedetomidine injection, Bupivacaine 0.25% Injectable Solution, normal saline

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS)

    The visual analog scale (VAS) is a simple and often used method for evaluating variations in pain intensity.

    Measured: the first 24 hours postoperative

  2. Amount of post operative opioid consumption for the first 24 hours

    Amount of total opioid consumption for 24 hours postoperative

    Measured: the first 24 hours postoperative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS)

    The visual analog scale (VAS) is a simple and often used method for evaluating variations in pain intensity.

    Measured: the second 24 hour postoperative

  2. Amount of post operative opioid consumption for the second 24 hours

    Amount of total opioid consumption for the second 24 hours postoperative

    Measured: the second 24 hour postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Dexmedetomidine injection, Bupivacaine 0.25% Injectable Solution and normal saline in people with Posterior Lumbosacral Spine Fixation Surgeries, run by October 6 University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 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 21 Jul 2023. 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) (time frame: the first 24 hours postoperative). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05590234, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Jul 2023.
