A CLINICAL TRIAL COMPARING LUMBAR PLEXUS BLOCK WITH EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA

Completed

Conditions: Other specified acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system,

Registration Number: CTRI/2019/01/017312

Lead Sponsor: PGIMER

Brief Summary: Upper limb blocks are well studied and widely used, they are being given as sole anaesthesia or as adjunct with GA for post operative pain relief.

In my study I want to establish the efficacy and adequacy of lower limb blocks ie LUMBAR plaxus and sciatic nerve block as sole anaesthesia and more effective for post op pain relief when compared to neuraxial block ie epidural anaestheisa. The trial yet to be started waiting for CTRI registration
