Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. To assess and compare NRS score at rest and on passive 15-degree limb elevation every 5min after the block till NRS less then 2 is achieved. 2. To assess and compare time taken to achieve NRS less then 2 in both the groups. 3. To assess and compare the difference in sitting angle before the block and at positioning for spinal anaesthesia between the two groups.Timepoint: 1. At baseline, 5 min, 10 min,15 min till NRS less then 2 2. At baseline, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min till NRS less then 2 3. At baseline, 15 min during positioning	—
