About this study

Official title: Multicenter Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Surveillance Study Comparing Ultrasound Guided Catheter Placement to Non Ultrasound Guided Catheter Placement Techniques

This two tiered study is a multi-center, open label, surveillance study of the use of continuous nerve blocks with the ON-Q® C-bloc and either nerve stimulator or ultrasound guided continuous nerve block techniques. This study was developed to investigate specific aspects of complication rates related to continuous nerve block techniques in patients undergoing orthopedic surgical procedures.

Read the detailed description

Continuous peripheral nerve block techniques require the placement of catheters near target peripheral nerves. The placement of these catheters is guided by either ultrasound visualization, nerve stimulation or a combination of the two.

This surveillance study was designed to look at the rates of catheter placement related complications with the two techniques.

Being tested
Ultrasound imaging, Peripheral nerve stimulator

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound imaging and Peripheral nerve stimulator in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Halyard Health at 16 sites in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 2 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Complications of Peripheral Nerve Block (time frame: Preoperative through 3 days post operative). 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 2 Oct 2018.
