Comparative Evaluation of Quadratus Lumborum and Transverses Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Pain Relief in Lower Abdominal Surgeries

NCT ID: NCT02910947

Last Updated: 2016-09-22

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Clinical Phase: PHASE4
• Total Enrollment: 120 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2016-10-31

Brief Summary

Two ultrasound guided techniques to give postoperative pain relief to the patients following abdominal surgeries would be compared using scoring systems for pain relief and scientific methods. while one technique is routinely used, other i.e quadratus lumborum has been recently described and relies on posterior deposition of the drug. Both the techniques are safe and ultrasound imaging is to be used for guidance.

Conditions

Pain Relief to the Patient Following Abdominal Surgeries

• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE
• Blinding Strategy: DOUBLE

Study Groups

quadratus lumborum

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum or Transversus Abdominis plane block

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

The intervention consists of giving ultrasound guided local anaesthetic (0.125% bupivacaine ) in the quadratus lumborum plane or the transversus abdominis plane after randomization. These planes and technique for these procedures are well described in literature.

TAP(Transversus abdominis plane)

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL
