About this study

Official title: Comparison of Subgluteal Sciatic Nerve Block Duration in Type-2 Diabetic and Non Diabetic Patients

Diabete animal studies demonstrated a longer period recovery after local anesthetic injection (perineural administration). No clinical study demonstrated a prolonged nerve block duration in diabete type 2 patients after peripheral nerve block. The investigators hypothesized that block recovery is delayed in diabetic patients.

Read the detailed description

For diabetic patients, peripheral nerve block is an interesting alternative to general anesthesia because it provides effective analgesia and may decrease haemodynamic complication. The fear of nerve injury after regional anaesthesia in diabetic patients is a concern that has neither been confirmed nor refuted by current literature. As a matter of fact, diabetic patients with neuropathy may be considered at increased risk because of the possibility for double crush syndrome when a chronic axon lesion related to diabetes is associated with an unexpected distal nerve injury related to regional anaesthesia.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the duration of sensory block in hours

    The beginning of this term is defined by the end of the sciatic block injection, and the end of this period is defined by the reappearance of sensitivity to pin-prick test

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the duration of motor sciatic block

    The beginning of this term is defined by the end of the sciatic block injection, and the end of this period is defined by the reappearance of motor function

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ropivacaine in people with Diabetes Type 2, run by Pierre and Marie Curie University 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 9 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 24 Dec 2012. 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?

the duration of sensory block in hours (time frame: Day 0). 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 NCT01704612, 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 24 Dec 2012.
