“…12 Siddaiah and Sardesai mentioned that US guided CPN is simple, cost-effective in comparison to the EUS-guided CPN and does not require special equipment or formal training in gastroenterology. 9 Marcy et al found that ultrasound guidance is safe and effective and recommended its application for CPB whenever possible as it almost completely eliminates the risk of inadvertent injection of ethanol into vascular or intradural structures. 8 Dhamija et alalso performed US guided CPN and arrived at similar inferences.…”

Patients suffering from advanced upper abdominal malignancies have pain as predominant symptom affects their quality of life and survival. USG guided coeliac plexus neurolysis become benevolence in these patients on part of their pain management and quality of life improvement. To compare the efficacy of USG guided coeliac plexus neurolysis for pain relief in upper abdominal malignancies by using different concentration of alcohol (50% vs 75%).This Prospective, comparative, randomised double blinded study was conducted during Sep 2019 – Aug 2020 at our tertiary care centre. Total 60 cases were taken as per following inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided into 2 groups i.e. 30 each group, we compare Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, quality of life (QOL) and need of rescue analgesia profile between the groups to know the efficacy of USG guided coeliac plexus block. In our study, we observed that the baseline mean VAS score in group I was 8.26±0.78 while in group II was 8.03±0.76. No significant difference was found in mean VAS score at this time between the groups (p=0.24). The baseline mean QOL score in group-I was 77.46±3.40 while for the cases of group II the mean QOL score was 77.36±3.33. No significant difference was found in mean QOL score at baseline between the groups (p=0.90). The baseline mean morphine consumption in group-I was 113.33±39.24 mg while for the cases of group-II the mean morphine consumption was 120.33±38.37mg. No significant difference was found in mean morphine consumption at this time between the groups (p=0.48).Both groups having 50% alcohol and 75% alcohol decreases the VAS score from baseline in patients having upper abdominal malignancies along with QOL and dosages of rescue analgesia whereas no significant difference in VAS score in patients of both groups.

“…8 Now the USG guided anterior approach has been used by various researchers with different concentrations of absolute alcohol and phenol. [6][7][8][9][10] This study was conducted for comparative evaluation of different concentrations of alcohol in USG guided CPN for pain relief in patients of upper abdominal malignancies.…”
