About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Impact Between Minimally Invasive and Traditional Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section in Maternal Anticoagulation Therapy:Randomized Controlled Trial

Spinal canal anesthesia is marked the most commonly used method of cesarean section. Traditional spinal anesthesia may cause post-dural puncture headache and low back pain.Plenty of parturients are undergoing anticoagulation therapy.They may be forced to accept general anesthesia in order to avoid epidural hematoma.Therefore, we propose minimally invasive spinal anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

Traditional group patients will receive cutting type 22 gauge needles, while minimally invasive group patients will receive pen type 27 gauge needles.Patients will be blinded to the intervention allocations. Spinal anesthesia will be performed with a standardized technique. Lumbar puncture will be performed through an interspace (L3-4 or L2-3) with patients in a lateral decubitus position. After free flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the needle tip be verified, 2ml ropivacaine will be injected. We will record puncture situation, anesthesia plane and measure post-dural puncture headache, post-operative back pain and epidural hematoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pen type 27 gauge needles and cutting type 22 gauge needles in people with Anticoagulation and Minimally Invasive, run by RenJi Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 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 5 Jul 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact DAN HUANG, MS (15921108822, huangdan363@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual analogue score of post-dural puncture headache (time frame: 1 to 7 days after operation). 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 NCT02987192, 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 5 Jul 2017.
