Intercostal Nerve Block With Local Anesthesia Administered Via Incision-specific Multi-site Injection for Thoracic Surgery
- Conditions
- Intercostal Nerve Block
- Registration Number
- NCT06011044
- Lead Sponsor
- Bixin Wen
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test analgesic effect of intercostal nerve block in different range. The main question it aims to answer are:
question 1: whther incision-specific multi-site injection (ISMSI, from the 3rd to 8th intercostal nerve) can improve the analgesic benefits .
The participants will be divided into three groups to compare the analgesic effects of different intercostal nerve blocks
- Detailed Description
Postoperative pain after thoracic surgery is usually severe, and potentially leads to worse outcomes. It is well known that the use of intercostal nerve block (ICNB) analgesia with local anesthesia is common in thoracic surgery. Compared with the traditional standard of epidural analgesia, it has the advantages of less effect on respiratory or circulation system and less postoperative complications such as hypotension and hematoma. However, the details of ICNB form different hospital are in different ways. And it is unclear how many intercostal nerves should be blocked. And it is unknown which area should be payed more attention either, like the incision area or the chest tube port. It is hypothesized that the incision-specific multi-site injection (ISMSI, from the 3rd to 8th intercostal nerve) can improve the analgesic benefits due to cover area of both incision and chest tube port. To test this hypothesis, the investigators did this study to evaluate the analgesic effect of different ICNB methods.
The participants will be divided into three groups. A(incision-specific multi-site injection, received intraoperative 3-8 intercostal nerve block ) B(single injection, received intraoperative 3-5 intercostal nerve block ) and C(received no intercostal nerve block). Then compare the analgesic effects of the three groups.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) first month after surgery We will use VAS score to assess the analgesic effects . The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) has been in use for the measurement of intangible quantities such as pain since the 1920s. It consists of a line usually 100mm in length, with anchor descriptors such as "no pain" and "worst pain imaginable", The patient makes a mark reflecting his or her perception, and the distance from the left endpoint to the mark is measured, in mm.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) third month after surgery We will use VAS score to assess the analgesic effects .
