About this study

Official title: Effects of Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant on the Median Effective Concentration of Lidocaine for Obturator Nerve Block - A Perspective, Randomized,Blind Study

Hypothesis: Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant of lidocaine can decrease the median effective concentration(EC50) of lidocaine for obturator nerve block during transurethral resection of bladder tumor

Read the detailed description

A selective obturator nerve block(ONB) is an effective alternative to suppress the obturator nerve reflex which is defined as a sudden, violent adductor muscle spasm when the obturator nerve is stimulated directly by the electronic resector during transurethral resection of the tumor on the lateral bladder wall. Studies showed Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to local anesthetic prolongs peripheral nerve block duration without any nerve toxicity. In the following randomized, non-crossover study, the investigators test if Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant can decrease the median effective concentration(EC50) of lidocaine for obturator nerve block during transurethral resection of bladder tumor.

What participants receive

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

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    Dexmedetomidine is administrated as an adjuvant of lidocaine at a dose of 1.0 μg/ kg.

  • Normal SalineDrug

    Normal Saline is administrated as an adjuvant of lidocaine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Median Effective Concentration(EC50)

    Median effective concentration(EC50) was not calculated per-participants, the "up-and-down" sequential allocation method was used to determine the median effective concentration(EC50) of lidocaine, running the two groups in parallel. The concentration of lidocaine for the second and subsequent patients in each group were dictated by the response of the previous patient in the group, such that an effective block led to a decreased concentration of the next patient, an ineffective block led to an increased concentration.

    For each group, we collected: the logarithm of lidocaine concentration, the number of effective block, ineffective block, total number of the patient, and successful rate. Then lgEC50 and slgEC50 was calculated as formulas. The logarithm of confidence intervals(95% CI) was calculated as lgEC50±1.96slgEC50. All of the calculation can be performed by SPSS19.0 for windows.

    Measured: 10min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Complication Related With Nerve Block

    Complication related with nerve block is defined as the presence of either bradycardia, delayed recovery, persistent groin pain, neuropathy during operation and postoperatively

    Measured: during operation, 0.5,24hour postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine and Normal Saline in people with Nerve Block, run by Guolin Wang at 1 site in China.

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 6 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 22 Dec 2014. 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2014). 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?

Median Effective Concentration(EC50) (time frame: 10min). 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 NCT02066727, 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 22 Dec 2014.
