About this study

Official title: Effect of Infraorbital and Infratrochlear Nerve Block on Emergence Agitation in Patients Undergoing Septorhinoplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether bilateral infraorbital and infratrochlear nerve block in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty are effective in preventing emergence agitation.

Read the detailed description

Emergence agitation is a postanesthetic phenomenon characterized as confusion, disorientation and violent behavior. Although its etiology is not well understood, risk factors associated with the condition include pain and ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgery. Bilateral infraorbital and infratrochlear nerve block in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty is effective in treating postoperative pain. The investigators have designed this study to evaluate the effect of infraorbital and infratrochlear nerve block on emergence agitation in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty.

Being tested
Normal Saline, Ropivacaine
Keywords
infraorbital nerve block, infratrochlear nerve block, septorhinoplasty, general anesthesia, postoperative analgesia

What participants receive

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

  • Normal SalineDrug

    Bilateral infraorbital and infratrochlear nerve block before general anesthesia with normal saline

  • RopivacaineDrug

    Bilateral infraorbital and infratrochlear nerve block before general anesthesia with 0.5% ropivacaine

What is being measured

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

  1. Emergence agitation

    Emergence agitation is measured by Riker Sedation-Agitated Scale (RASS) and is defined as RASS=5-7

    Measured: 2 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pain intensity

    0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS) : from 0 = no pain to 10 = worst pain imaginable

    Measured: 2, 8, 24, 48 hours after surgery

  2. Patient satisfaction

    1-5 scale (1: very unsatisfactory, 2: rather unsatisfactory, 3: fair, 4: rather satisfactory, 5: very satisfactory)

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Normal Saline and Ropivacaine in people with Emergence Agitation and Pain, run by Armed Forces Hampyeong Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2016. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Emergence agitation (time frame: 2 hours after surgery). 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 NCT02751268, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 29 Apr 2016.
