About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block and Caudal Block on Postoperative Pain Control in Pediatric Urogenital Surgery Cases

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of caudal block and sacral espb used as a postoperative analgesia method in urogenital pediatric surgery cases.

Read the detailed description

The parents of the patients who will undergo urogenital surgery will be included in the study after being informed and written consent is obtained. They will be randomised and divided into two groups. After general anaesthesia, sacral espb will be performed in the 1st group and caudal block will be performed in the 2nd group and postoperative pain will be evaluated with Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score.

What participants receive

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

  • Ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane blockProcedure or surgery

    Patients were received ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block, 1ml/kg %0.25 bupivacaine (max 20 ml), for postoperative pain management

  • Ultrasound-guided caudal blockProcedure or surgery

    Patients were received ultrasound-guided caudal block, 1ml/kg %0.25 bupivacaine (max 20 ml), for postoperative pain management

What is being measured

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

  1. Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score

    The FLACC is an observational pain scale. It is widely used in the paediatric population to assess pain in infants and children who are unable to verbally express their pain.Each category is scored on the 0-2 scale which results in a total score of 0-10.

    Measured: baseline ,and 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Analgesic requirement

    If the FLACC>4 and above rescue analgesics will be made

    Measured: baseline, and 24 hours

  2. Satisfaction of the patient's parents

    A questionnaire will be used in which patient's parents will indicate their satisfaction from 0 to 10. 0: not at all satisfied, 10: very satisfied

    Measured: 24. hours

  3. Satisfaction of the surgeons

    A questionnaire will be used in which surgeon's will indicate their satisfaction from 0 to 10. 0: not at all satisfied, 10: very satisfied

    Measured: 24.hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound-guided sacral erector spinae plane block and Ultrasound-guided caudal block in people with Urogenital Diseases and Nerve Block, run by Giresun University 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 22 Jul 2024. 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?

Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score (time frame: baseline ,and 24 hours). 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 22 Jul 2024.
