FI BlockExperimentalFascia iliaca block consisting of up to 60 mL of 0.35% ropivicaine at a dose of 3 mg/kg (with adjuvants of 100 mcg clonidine [per 60 mL] and epinephrine 1:400,000)

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Analog Scale

    Pain, as measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Scores are ranged from 0-10, 0 is no pain and 10 is worst possible pain. The unit of measure is units on a scale.

    Measured: 3 Months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Opioid Consumption

    Opioid consumption, as measured by narcotic usage (morphine milligram equivalents)

    Measured: 3 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ropivicaine, clonidine and Epinephrine in people with Hip Dysplasia and Femoroacetabular Impingement, run by The Hawkins Foundation at 1 site 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 2 inclusion and 8 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 14 Mar 2019. 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 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Mar 2019). 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?

Visual Analog Scale (time frame: 3 Months). 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 NCT02365961, 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 14 Mar 2019.
