Trial Outcomes & Findings for PECS Block vs. Multimodal Analgesia for Prevention of Persistent Postoperative Pain in Breast Surgery (NCT NCT03084536)

NCT ID: NCT03084536

Last Updated: 2024-12-24

Results Overview

* The participant is asked to rate their pain by circling the one number that best describes their pain at its worst in the past week. * 0=no pain and 10 = pain as bad as they can imagine. The higher number indicates worse pain.

Measure
Preoperative PECS Blocks
* PECS I \& II block will be administered preoperatively * For unilateral surgeries, a PECS I block will be performed with 0.15mL/kg of 0.375% bupivacaine (maximum 10mL). The PECS II block will be performed with 0.3 mL/kg of the same solution (maximum 20mL). If there is a contralateral surgery (simple mastectomy) a PECS II block will also be performed on the other side with 0.2mL/kg of 0.375% bupivacaine (maximum 20mL) * To ensure blind integrity, study drug syringes will be marked only "study drug" and subject number * Perioperative analgesic will be encouraged.. Gabapentin 300mg, celecoxib 200mg and acetaminophen 1000mg will be administered to all patients following arrival to the preoperative area. All patients will receive premedication of 1-2 mg midazolam IV (age \< 65) and 50-100 μg fentanyl IV prior to the block placement or entry to the operating room at the discretion of the regional team or operating room anesthesiologist
Placebo PECS Blocks
* A sham block (normal saline) will be placed preoperatively * To ensure blind integrity, study drug syringes will be marked only "study drug" and subject number. * Perioperative analgesic regimen will be encouraged. Gabapentin 300mg, celecoxib 200mg and acetaminophen 1000mg will be administered to all patients following arrival to the preoperative holding area. On the day of surgery all patients will receive premedication of 1-2 mg midazolam IV (age \< 65) and 50-100 μg fentanyl IV prior to the block placement or entry to the operating room at the discretion of the regional team or operating room anesthesiologist.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and 1 year post-surgery

Population: Due to missing 1 year follow-up Brief Pain Inventories, all enrolled participants were not evaluable or included in this outcome measure.

* The 12 items in the questionnaire correspond to eight principal physical and mental health domains including general health perceptions; physical functioning; role limitations due to physical and emotional problems; bodily pain; energy-fatigue, social functioning and mental health. The 12 items are summarized into two scores, a Physical Health Summary Measure (PCS) and a Mental Health Summary Measure (MCS). * The higher the score the better quality of life. * Scores are standardized to a mean of 50 with a range of -0.809-70.71.
