L'étude clinique NCT07198412 est un essai interventionnel pour Gestion de la douleur, Postoperative Acute Pain, Douleur chronique au dos. Son statut actuel est : en recrutement. L'étude a débuté le 1 octobre 2025 et vise à recruter 180 participants. Dirigé par Benha University, l'essai devrait être terminé d'ici le 10 mai 2026. Les données du site ClinicalTrials.gov ont été mises à jour pour la dernière fois le 17 novembre 2025.
Résumé succinct
This study will evaluate whether giving sedation before spinal anesthesia, when performed with ultrasound guidance, reduces the risk of developing back pain after surgery. Spinal anesthesia is commonly used but may cause discomfort or persistent back pain in some patients. By comparing standard techniques, ultrasound guidance, and sedation, we aim to find safer and more comfortable approaches for patients undergoing non-obstetric surgery.
Description détaillée
Spinal anesthesia is widely used for abdominal and lower limb surgeries, yet a significant number of patients experience new back pain afterward, sometimes lasting for months. Contributing factors include needle size, multiple puncture attempts, and patient characteristics. Ultrasound guidance can improve accuracy and reduce complications, while pre-procedure sedation may lower anxiety and discomfort during the procedure.

This randomized controlled trial will include 180 adult patients scheduled for non-obstetric surgery. Participants will be divided into three groups:

Ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia without sedation

Ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia with sedation (midazolam)

Landmark-guided spinal anesthesia (control)

Sedation will be administered with midazolam before the spinal procedure in the sedation group. All patients will receive standardized anesthesia techniques. Pain will be assessed in the early postoperative period and during long-term follow-up (1, 3, and 6 months) using validated pain scales and questionnaires. Secondary outcomes include pain severity, number of needle attempts, procedure time, patient satisfaction, and complications such as headache or nausea.

This study will clarify whether combining ultrasound guidance with pre-procedure sedation can reduce both acute and chronic back pain after spinal anesthesia, aiming to improve patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction.

Comparateur actifArm A - Ultrasound-Guided Spinal Anesthesia (No Sedation)
Ultrasound-guided Spinal Anesthesia
Spinal anesthesia performed under real-time ultrasound guidance using a curvilinear ultrasound probe and 25-27G pencil-point spinal needle. Intrathecal injection of bupivacaine 0.5% hyperbaric (12-15 mg) following local infiltration with lidocaine 1% (2-3 mL).
ExpérimentalArm B - Ultrasound-Guided Spinal Anesthesia with Sedation (Midazolam)
Midazolam Plus Ultrasound-guided Spinal Anesthesia
Patients will receive midazolam (0.02-0.05 mg/kg IV; max 5 mg) 5-10 minutes prior to spinal anesthesia. Ultrasound guidance used for spinal needle placement. Intrathecal bupivacaine 0.5% hyperbaric (12-15 mg) after lidocaine 1% (2-3 mL) infiltration. Oxygen supplementation at 2 L/min and standard monitoring.
Comparateur placeboArm C - Landmark-Guided Spinal Anesthesia (Control)
Landmark-guided Spinal Anesthesia
Spinal anesthesia performed using the traditional landmark palpation technique without ultrasound guidance or sedation. Intrathecal bupivacaine 0.5% hyperbaric (12-15 mg) after lidocaine 1% (2-3 mL) infiltration, using a 25-27G pencil-point spinal needle.
