Effectiveness of TAP Block Versus Intravenous Analgesia in Postoperative Pain Management Following Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
TAP Block Group: Bilateral ultrasound-guided TAP block with 0.25% levobupivacaine and 75 mcg clonidine per side, plus standard intraoperative intravenous analgesia (ketorolac, tramadol, ondansetron).
Study summary
Optimal postoperative pain control is crucial in laparoscopic gynecologic surgery, particularly within Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional anesthesia technique that may reduce opioid consumption and enhance recovery. However, data comparing TAP block directly with standard intravenous analgesia in this surgical context are limited.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Postoperative pain intensity (Numeric Rating Scale) — 1, 6, 24 hours postoperatively.
Postoperative pain will be assessed using the 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate worse pain. Pain scores will be recorded at 1, 6, and 24 hours postoperatively.
