Trial summary

The incidence of pilonidal sinus disease (PD) is estimated to be around 26/100,000 individuals mostly men.PD can cause the development of abscess or a draining sinus tract and that may lead to a loss of productive power and long-term morbidity.Different surgical technique approaches were proposed for treatment with… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Sacral Erector Spinae Block for Pilonidal Sinus Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The incidence of pilonidal sinus disease (PD) is estimated to be around 26/100,000 individuals mostly men.PD can cause the development of abscess or a draining sinus tract and that may lead to a loss of productive power and long-term morbidity.Different surgical technique approaches were proposed for treatment with different rates of success.

Read the detailed description

Sacral erector spinae plane block was first described by Tulgar et al. To provide sensory blockade in the parasacral region in two cases who had pilonidal sinus surgeries. Since then, the block was used for multiple surgeries like anorecatal, hip surgery and parasacral reconstructive surgeries.After obtaining the ethical committee approval from Menoufia University. patients scheduled for pilonidal sinus surgery will be randomly allocated into one of two groups Patients will be randomized to a study group using a computer-generated random number table, and the allocation concealment will be performed using a sealed envelope technique.The sealed opaque envelopes will be kept locked in dedicated research safe and will be accessed by a research coordinator only when a patient consented for the study. The anesthetist will perform the intervention with the doses and concentration of drugs as per the protocol.

The patients and the follow up researcher will be blinded to the type of intervention used. The patient follow-up time will be scheduled intraoperatively PACU, 1 hour and 24hours postoperatively. The anesthetist who did the intervention will have no access to the reported documents or contact with the patient postoperatively.

For induction of anesthesia all patients will receive medication as per the facility protocol where propofol 1-2mg/Kg, fentanyl 2μg/Kg (actual BW), rocuronium 0.5 mg/kg will be used for induction and an endotracheal tube intubation will be inserted to secure the airway. After intubation and confirmation of endotracheal tube placement by auscultation and capnography, the patient will be turned into prone position.

Maintenance of anesthesia will be maintained by sevoflurane 1-1.2 MAC and rocuronium 0.1mg/kg guided by the TOF. All patients will receive multimodal analgesia in the form of paracetamol 1gm and parecoxib 40 mg (Pizer manufacturing Belgium). After exclusion of other causes of tachycardia and hypertension Morphine 2mg increments will be administrated to keep the heart rate or blood pressure within 20 percent of the patient's baseline parameters.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain score

    NRS scor for post operative pain scale from 0 to 100

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Opioid consumption.

    Total opioid consumbtion in mg

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Lower limb motor affection

    Modified Bromage scale for motor affection from 1 to 6

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Adverse effects

    Side effect as nausea, vomiting, itching will be recorded

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sacral erector spinae plane block in people with Post Operative Pain, run by Menoufia 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 29 Aug 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 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.

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?

Pain score (time frame: 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 29 Aug 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
