About this study

Official title: Analgesic Efficacy of Ketamine Versus Neostigmine as Adjuvants to Bupivacaine During Ultrasound-guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block in Modified Radical Mastectomy

This study is designed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of ketamine compared to neostigmine as adjuvants to LA in ultrasound guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) in patients undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy. We hypothesize that adding either neostigmine or ketamine to bupivacaine in ultrasound guided SAPB would increase the total analgesic duration and decrease the total 24 hr postoperative Nalbuphine consumption compared to SAPB with bupivacaine only. The first 24 hr of postoperative Nalbuphine consumption is set as the primary outcome. The time of the first request of analgesia, pain score, side effects of drugs and patient hemodynamics are set as the secondary outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Adjuvants, Anesthesia in people with Post Operative Pain, run by Ain Shams 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 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 phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

analgsic consumption (time frame: first 24 hours postoperative). 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 NCT05802979, which also lists 4 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 7 Apr 2023.
