Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare postoperative pain intensity at rest, assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), at 1 hour postoperatively between the two groups.Timepoint: To compare postoperative pain intensity at rest, assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), at 1 hour postoperatively between the two groups.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) at rest and on movement over the first 24 hours postoperatively at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours. In case patient has been discharged earlier on the same day, then 12 & 24 h score will be assessed telephonically.Timepoint: 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours; To compare the time to first request for rescue analgesia between the two groups.Timepoint: in first 24 hours; To compare the cumulative 24-hour postoperative analgesic requirement.Timepoint: 24 hours; To assess patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management using QoR-15 score.Timepoint: ; To compare the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).Timepoint: ; To evaluate the safety profile of the regional anesthesia techniques by documenting block-related complications (local anesthetic systemic toxicity, hematoma, infection).Timepoint:
