Effect of the Modified Surgeon Assisted Bilateral TAP Block on Time Required for First Analgesic Dose After Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia:A Randomized,Placebo-controlled, Double Blinded Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Transversus abdominus plane block and Transversus abdominus plane placebo for Postoperative Pain. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
While opioids are the mainstay for post-operative analgesia after caesarean section, they are associated with various side effects. Ultrasound guided transversusabdominis plane (TAP) block has been postulated to provide effective analgesia for caesarean section. However a new technique in TAP block is described which can be used safely by a beginner without any fear of complication whichwill help in providing good postoperative analgesia to maximumnumber of patients. This study will evaluate the analgesic efficacy of TAP block using Modified Surgeon Assisted Bilateral TAP block for post caesarean analgesia in a randomized controlled trial.
