About this study

Official title: Perioperative Analgesia by Femoral Perineural Catheter for Femoral Neck Fracture - Study KTcol -

Therapeutic essay of phase IV, monocentric, prospective, randomized, in double-blind during 48 hours(then simple-blind),controlled by placebo.

Abstract:

Read more

The increasing incidence of the number of femoral neck fractures and the poor prognosis of this traumatological pathology involves an optimization of the diagnostic, therapeutic and analgesic care.

A widespread collectively practice for the analgesia in prehospital or preoperative period is the single injection ("single shot") of local anesthetic with the technique of the femoral or iliofascial block. Nevertheless the single injection of a dose of local anesthetic associated or not with analgesic adjuvants, due to their pharmacological properties, can't prolong the efficiency of the loco-regional analgesia more than 12 hours.

The aim of our study is to evaluate, in the patients admitted in emergencies for suspicion of femoral neck fractures, the perioperative efficiency of an analgesic treatment using a femoral perineural catheter (inserted from the hospital admission) with continuous infusion of ropivacaïne controlled by placebo (physiological serum).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ropivacaine in people with Femoral Neck Fracture, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 1 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

evaluate, in the patients admitted in emergencies for suspicion of femoral neck fractures, the perioperative efficiency of an analgesic treatment using a femoral perineural catheter (time frame: from the hospital admission to 24h after surgical operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01052974, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Nov 2017.
