About this study

Official title: Minimum Effective Volume of Lidocaine for Ultrasound-Guided Costoclavicular Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block

The aim of this study is to determine the minimum effective volume of lidocaine in 90% of patients (ED90) required for single-injection US-guided costoclavicular infraclavicular.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to determine the minimum effective volume of lidocaine in 90% of patients (ED90) required for single-injection US-guided costoclavicular ICB. Determination of the minimum effective volume of LA is important because it prevents the administration of an unnecessarily large (and potentially toxic) dose. Furthermore, when multiple blocks need to be performed at the same time in the same patient, knowledge of the minimum effective volume allows to the operator to preserve efficacy without sacrificing safety for each block.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing costoclavicular nerve block in people with Upper Extremity Surgery, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 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 Mar 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 Canada. 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?

success rate (time frame: 0-30 min). 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 NCT02932670, 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 Mar 2017.
