Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: TPVB group
Drug: patient controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)
at the end of surgery, patient is administered a PCIA with morphine boluses: 1.5-2 mg, lockout time :10 min, 1h limitation: 6-8 mg morphine.
Procedure: preoperative single-shot TPVB
The patient is placed in the lateral position, the spinous processes of T10 are identified and marks are made 2cm lateral to the spinous processes. The curve probe of ultrasound scanner is placed transversally at the mark to identify the paravertebral space. Then a 22-G needle is inserted in-plane from lateral to medial and advanced until the tip reached the paravertebral space surrounded by the parietal pleura and the superior costotransverse ligament. 0.4 ml/kg 0.5% ropivacaine is injected into the paravertebral space of T10.
EXPERIMENTAL: TMQLB group
Procedure: preoperative single-shot TMQLB

The patient is placed in the lateral position. The curved probe of Ultrasound Scanner is used for scan and located vertical to the iliac crest at the posterior axillary line to find the Shamrock sign. The 22-G needle is then inserted in plane and directed to the QL muscle. After the proper position of the needle tip between the psoas major muscle and the quadratus lumborum muscle is confirmed, 0. 6 ml/kg 0.5% ropivacaine is injected into the interfascial plane.

Followed by IPCA in the first 48h after surgery: morphine boluses: 1.5-2 mg, lockout time :10 min, 1h limitation: 6-8 mg morphine.

Drug: patient controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)
at the end of surgery, patient is administered a PCIA with morphine boluses: 1.5-2 mg, lockout time :10 min, 1h limitation: 6-8 mg morphine.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
cumulative morphine consumption
Time Frame: within 48 postoperative hours
within 48 postoperative hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
time of recovery of bowl movement
Time Frame: within the 5 days after surgery
within the 5 days after surgery
patient satisfaction with anesthesia
Time Frame: 48 hours after surgery
use the Chinese version Bauer questionnaire to assess the patient satisfaction with anesthesia
48 hours after surgery
The pain scores determined by the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0-10)
Time Frame: within 48 postoperative hours
NRS is an internationally recognized pain scale with 11 points ranging from 0 to 10 points, with 0 defined as no pain and 10 defined as the worst pain imaginable.
within 48 postoperative hours
dermatomal distribution of sensory reduction
Time Frame: 30 min after the block
Thirty minutes after the block, the bilateral dermatomal sensory blocks for the anterior abdomen (between the anterior axillary and mid-clavicular lines) and thigh were assessed with the pinprick method. A reduce in pinprick sensation relative to the unblocked side was interpreted as an effective block.
30 min after the block
quality of recovery evaluated by the self-assessment 15-item quality of recovery (QoR) scale
Time Frame: at 3 days and 5 days after the sugery
QoR is a 15-item questionnaire which will score on a scale of 0-10 pertaining to patient's comfort, support system, pain, well-being, and ability to carry out daily activities, where 0 indicates none of the time and 10 indicates all of the time
at 3 days and 5 days after the sugery
postoperative length of hospital stay
Time Frame: within 2 weeks after the surgery
time to patient's discharge
within 2 weeks after the surgery
nausea and vomiting episodes
Time Frame: within 24 hours after the surgery]
within 24 hours after the surgery]
ambulation time
Time Frame: within the 5 days after surgery
time from the end of the surgery to the first time to out-of-bed activity
within the 5 days after surgery
