Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial registration comparing paragastric nerve block and erector spinae plane block to standard analgesia for postoperative pain after sleeve gastrectomy. No results are yet posted in this registry record; the study has not yet begun recruitment. Any conclusions about efficacy cannot be drawn from this registration.

Once completed and published, this trial will provide direct evidence to guide choice of regional anesthesia technique for bariatric pain management. Clinicians should await full results before making practice changes based on this registration alone.
This is a clinical trial registration with no reported results; the study is not yet recruiting and represents a planned prospective randomized controlled design without outcome data.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07811206). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Atlas University. Recruitment status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 72 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Obesity Postoperative Pain, Obesity Morbid Obesity Postoperative Pain. Interventions: PROCEDURE: Paragastric Nerve Block (PGNB); PROCEDURE: ESPB; PROCEDURE: Active Comparator. Primary outcome measures: Primary Outcome , Postoperative Hours 1, 6, 12, and 24. Brief summary: Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures for the treatment of obesity. Despite its minimally invasive nature, patients frequently experience moderate to severe postoperative pain, which may delay mobilization, prolong hospital stay, increase opioid consumption, and reduce patient satisfaction. Effective postoperative pain management is therefore an important component of perioperative care. Regional analgesia techniques are increasingly used as part of multimodal analgesia protocols to reduce opioid requirements and opioid-related adverse effects. Paragastric nerve block (PGNB) has been reported to provide effective control of visceral pain, nausea, and vomiting after sleeve gastrectomy. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is another regional anesthesia technique that has demonstrated efficacy in reducing perioperative opioid consumption in bariatric surgery patients. However, no prospective randomized study has directly compared PGNB and ESPB in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. This prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effects of PGNB, ESPB, and standard analgesia on postoperative pain management following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Seventy-two adult patients scheduled for elective sleeve gastrectomy will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive PGNB, ESPB, or standard multimodal analgesia alone. The primary outcome will be postoperative pain intensity measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 1, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include postoperative opioid consumption, intraoperative remifentanil consumption, additional analgesic requirements, time to first analgesic request, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and block-related complications.
