Erector Spinae Plane Block, Lumbar Laminectomy, Postoperative Pain, Thoracolumbar Interfascial Plane Block, Ultrasound
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this prospective randomized trial is to compare the efficacy ultrasound guided thoracolumbar interfascial plane block versus bilateral ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block for post-operative pain management after lumbar laminectomy
Interventions
(20ml) (plain bupivacaine 0.25% on each side toward the LG-MF interface.
Will receive (20ml) (plain bupivacaine 0.25% injected beneath the erector spinae muscle sheath) at the level of the eighth thoracic segment (T8).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Degree of pain by visual Analog Scale (VAS) score at rest | First 24 hours postoperative | Pain scores will be observed and recorded using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) both at rest and during movement. The scores will be recorded in the ward at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h. VAS score from 0 to 10 (0: No pain, 10: The worst pain) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total rescue analgesics consumption | First 24 hours postoperative | — |
| The time to first analgesic | First 24 hours postoperative | — |
| 24-h morphine consumption | First 24 hours postoperative | — |
| Side effects associated with morphine | First 24 hours postoperative | — |
| Degree of pain by visual Analog Scale (VAS) score at movement | First 24 hours postoperative | Pain scores will be observed and recorded using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) both at rest and during movement. The scores will be recorded in the ward at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h VAS score from 0 to 10 (0: No pain, 10: The worst pain) |
