About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Comparison of Ultrasound-guided Supraclavicular and Interscalene Block in Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery

The purpose of this study is to compare the supraclavicular block to interscalene block in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the supraclavicular block in comparison with interscalene block on postoperative pain, quality of recovery and side effects in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia.

Conditions

What participants receive

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

  • Supraclavicular BlockProcedure or surgery

    Under ultrasound guidance an insulated needle is advanced with in- plane technique into the brachial plexus sheath and 20ml 0.25% bupivacaine will be administered

  • Interscalene BlockProcedure or surgery

    Under ultrasound guidance an insulated needle will be placed through the middle scalene muscle,into the interscalene groove with in-plane technique and 20ml 0.25%bupivacaine will be administered into the brachial plexus

  • BupivacaineDrug

    Also called Marcaine

    20ml 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected for brachial plexus block

  • UltrasoundDevice

    The Ultrasound will be used for brachial plexus visualization

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative Pain

    The visual analog scale will be used for assessment

    Measured: up to postoperative 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Quality of recovery

    The Quality of Recovery-40 (QR40) questionnaire will be used for assessment

    Measured: in the postoperative 24 hours

  2. Motor block

    The muscle force will be evaluated with scale 0 to 3( 0:normal muscle force, 1: reduced muscle force, 2: impaired mobility 3: paralysis

    Measured: up to postoperative 24 hours

  3. Sensory block

    The sensorial block will be assessed by pinprick test.

    Measured: up to postoperative 24 hours

  4. Adverse events

    The number of patients with adverse events will be recorded.

    Measured: up to postoperative 24 hours

  5. Analgesics requirement time

    the first intravenous analgesic requirement time will be recorded.

    Measured: up to postoperative 24 hours

  6. Systolic Blood pressure changes

    The blood pressure will be measured non invasively and the systolic blood pressure lower than 90 mmHg or decrease more than 20% of baseline will be accepted as a hypotension.

    Measured: at time of surgery

  7. Heart rate changes

    The heart rate will be assessed via electrocardiographic monitoring and recorded as beat/minute.

    Measured: at time of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Supraclavicular Block, Interscalene Block and Bupivacaine in people with Pain, run by Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2017. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

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?

Postoperative Pain (time frame: up to postoperative 24 hours). 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 23 Feb 2017.
