About this study

This study aims to compare the sensory and motor block duration and the incidence of nerve injury after sciatic nerve block between diabetic and non-diabetic patients, and screen for the factors that may affect the block recovery.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational study. All participants who experienced unilateral lower limb surgery and received an ultrasound-guided (nerve stimulator assisted) subgluteal sciatic nerve block with 0.75% ropivacaine 20ml in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected. They were further assigned to either diabetic group or non-diabetic group according to their medical history (primary exposure). The primary end point was the sensory and motor block duration. These durations in terms of sensory and motor blocks of sciatic nerve(dorsal side, plantar side) were assessed at baseline, every 2 hours in 48 hours after the block (except for the second night). In addition, the associations between fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c, HbA1c) and the degree of diabetic retinopathy and the durations of sensory and motor block were also examined. This is not a intervention study, because we will examine the outcomes between diabetic or non-diabetic patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of sensory block

    Sensory block is measured by Semmes Weinstein monofilaments. The block is measured at baseline, and every 2hours in 48 hours after the block.

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Duration of motor block

    Motor blocks is visualized. The block is measured at baseline, and every 2hours in 48 hours after the block

    Measured: 48 hours

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration of sensory block (time frame: 48 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02482831, which also lists 7 linked publications.
