About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Optimal Dose of Local Anesthetics for Patient Controlled Continuous Femoral Nerve Block With Sciatic Nerve Block After Total Knee Arthroplasty

To evaluate an analgesic effect without basal administration of local anesthetics for patient-controlled femoral nerve block (with sciatic nerve block) after total knee arthroplasty.

Being tested
PC-FNB with basal administration of local anesthetics, PC-FNB without basal local anesthetics

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PC-FNB with basal administration of local anestheticsProcedure or surgery

    Also called PC-FNB with basal ropivacaine administration

    Administration of 0.2% ropivacaine for femoral nerve block with 3 ml/h of basal dose, 5ml bolus by the patient, 60 minutes of lock out time.

  • PC-FNB without basal local anestheticsProcedure or surgery

    Also called PC-FAB without basal ropivacaine administration

    Administration of 0.2% ropivacaine for femoral nerve block without basal dose, with 8 ml bolus by the patient, 60 minutes of lockout time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PC-FNB with basal administration of local anesthetics and PC-FNB without basal local anesthetics in people with Arthropathy of Knee Joint, run by Okayama University at 1 site in Japan.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2011. 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 Japan. 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.

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hideki Taninishi, MD, PhD (81-86-235-7327, tanishi@ops.dti.ne.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pain scores by use of numerous rating scale (NRS) (time frame: 4 days after the surgery). 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 22 Jul 2011.
