About this study

Official title: Continuous Regional Analgesia After Total Knee Arthroplasty. Normal Saline or Dextrose 5% in Water as Fluid Medium for Pre-Placement Expansion in Order to Facilitate the Catheter Passing

This prospective, comparative and double blind study is aimed to determine if normal saline or dextrose 5% in water will modify the stimulation during the insertion of the stimulating catheter used for continuous femoral and sciatic blocks in total knee replacement.

Read the detailed description

The operator is blinded to the medium fluid to expand the perineural femoral and sciatic nerves before threading in the stimulating catheter. He records all the electric data of electrolocation of nerve, which will be compared to determine whether or not a difference in intensity is found between normal saline or dextrose 5% in water.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Glucose 5% and NaCl 0.9% in people with Analgesia, run by Nantes University Hospital at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Characteristics of electrolocation of nerve during insertion of the exploring needle and of the stimulating catheter. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jul 2008.
