REctus Sheath Trial
NCT07068243
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
Regional anesthesia techniques (or nerve blocks) are used to provide sensory blockade over the abdominal wall. The most established technique is thoracic epidural. This provides bilateral spread but is also associated with neuraxial complications, which has led to a decrease in clinical usage. The rectus sheath block (RSB) is an established regional anesthesia technique used to provide somatic analgesia to the midline anterior abdominal wall by depositing local anesthetic in the posterior rectus sheath, thereby targeting the terminal anterior branches of the lower thoracic intercostal nerves.
