Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in the Management of Acute Postoperative Pain Syndrome After Caesarean Section

NCT02728323 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 96

Last updated 2020-08-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In many countries, caesarean section (CS) rates have been increasing. The international literature is unclear regarding the analgesic efficacy of the transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) after a CS. In particular, no clinical trials exist in which the correct method of performing this block has been matched with the obtained analgesic effect after a CS. The primary goal of the study was to determine whether a correctly performed ultrasound-guided TAPB (USG-TAPB) could provide patients who underwent a CS with better control of acute postoperative pain during the first 72 hours after surgery
