About this trial
The purpose of this prospective, observational study is to evaluate the effect of retrolaminar block (RLB) on patient comfort and analgesic effectiveness during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) procedures. The main questions the study aims to answer are:
Does retrolaminar block reduce pain intensity during ESWL?
Does retrolaminar block improve patient comfort during ESWL?
Participants will undergo the following interventions:
RLB Group: Retrolaminar block performed under ultrasound guidance prior to ESWL.
Sedation Group (S): Standard sedoanalgesia administered.
Control Group (C): No additional regional block or sedoanalgesia applied.
Participants will be monitored for pain levels, procedural duration, hemodynamic parameters, and the need for additional analgesics. The study aims to determine whether retrolaminar block can serve as a safe and effective analgesic method during ESWL procedures.
