Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of analgesia achieved by external oblique intercostal plane block (EOIPB)and thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing open thoracotomy.


Clinical Trial Description

Acute thoracotomy pain is multifactorial in nature. It involves nociceptive and neuropathic mechanisms originating from somatic and visceral afferents. The main sources of pain are intercostal nerves, the vagus nerve and phrenic nerve in the pleura, the superficial cervical plexus, and the brachial plexus in the ipsilateral shoulder. ;
