About this study

Official title: Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block With Perichondrial Approach in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Double-Blind Study

Our primary objective is to evaluate the postoperative numerical rating scale scores in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with an m-TAPA block. Our secondary objectives are to assess the total amount of rescue analgesia consumed, the time to first rescue analgesia, patient satisfaction, and the occurrence of complications.

Read the detailed description

Patients aged 18-65 with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III, undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia, were included in the study. Patients with contraindications to regional anesthesia, impaired consciousness, coagulopathy, those using anticoagulants, those with infection at the procedure site, those with allergies to local anesthetics, pregnant women, and emergency cases were excluded from the study.

The primary outcome measures were the numerical rating scale pain scores (0-10, 0 = no pain, 1-3 = mild pain, 4-6 = moderate pain, 7-10 = severe pain) at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. The secondary outcome measures included the total amount of rescue analgesic consumed, the time to first rescue analgesia, the occurrence of complications (such as infection, hematoma formation, and local anesthetic systemic toxicity), and patient satisfaction. The age, gender, weight, height, surgery duration of patients in both groups were recorded. A Likert scale (1 = not satisfied at all, 2 = not satisfied, 3 = neutral, 4 = satisfied, and 5 = very satisfied) was used to assess patient satisfaction.

    Patients in Group M were placed in the supine position. After skin antisepsis with 5% povidone-iodine, a sterile drape was placed. The high-frequency (8-13 MHz) linear ultrasound (USG) probe was covered with a sterile sheath, and the transversus abdominis, internal oblique, and external oblique muscles were identified at the 10th costal margin in the sagittal plane at the costochondral angle. The probe was angled sagittally to visualize the costochondral angle at the edge of the 10th rib and to display the posterior surface of the rib cartilage in the midline. Using an in-plane technique, a 22-gauge, 100-millimeter (mm) Stimuplex A peripheral nerve block needle was advanced cranially, and the needle tip was directed towards the posterior surface of the 10th costal cartilage. After negative aspiration, 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected under the lower surface of the costal cartilage. The same procedure was repeated on the opposite side.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing m-tapa block in people with Analgesia, run by Konya City 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 8 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 23 Oct 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?

Postoperative analgesia (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 23 Oct 2024.
