Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Simple randomization using simple enumerated sampling method  .After obtaining the institutional ethical committee approval and written informed consent from the participants, they will be enrolled into our study.
A total of participants will be enrolled and randomized into two equal groups of each . i.e 28 in each group.

Group A : chronic pelvic pain patients receiving USG guided superior hypogastric plexus block with 2-3 milliliters of 0.25% bupivacaine + 5ml of 70% alcohol 
Group B : chronic pelvic pain patients receiving fluoroscopy guided superior hypogastric plexus block with 2-3 milliliters of 0.25% bupivacaine + 5ml of 70% alcohol 
The patients instructed prior to the scheduled procedure regarding how to evaluate pain by using visual analog pain scale (0=no pain, 10= maximum pain imaginable)

After  which the following primary & secondary objectives will be assessed accordingly.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
To compare decrease in pain as assessed by change in visual analog scale score by ultrasound guided anterior approach versus fluoroscopy guided posterior approach of Superior Hypogastric Plexus neurolysis in patients with pelvic pain due to malignancies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE
To assess the feasibility of the procedures - time taken & patients comfort
To assess the complications associated with the two techniques
