About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized, Single Blind Trial of Preemptive Analgesic Effects of Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block in Patients With Bilateral Hallux Valgus Surgery

The purpose of this study was to investigate the preemptive effect of ultrasound guided popliteal scistic nerve block on postoperative acute pain in patients with bilateral hallux valgus.

After induction of general anesthesia, the leg to be operated first is decided randomly. After the operation of one leg is completed, PSNB is performed on both legs with 0.2% Ropivacaine and surgery is started on the remaining legs.

When the surgery is over, check to see which foot pain begins first, how strong the pain is, and whether there are any side effects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analgesic duration of nerve block

    The difference of NRS during study time between group preB and group postB

    The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) is an 11-point scale for patient self-reporting of pain. It is for adults and children 10 years old or older.

    0: No pain, 1-3: mild pain, 4-6: Moderate pain, 7-10: severe pain, 10: worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: at 0, 0.5, 1, 4, 8, 12 hours after operation. And AM 9 and PM 5 of POD (Post Operative Day) 1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Difference of analgesic consumption between both group

    The difference of usage of rescue analgesics during study time between group preB and group postB after the operation

    Measured: at 0, 0.5, 1, 4, 8, 12 hours after operation. And AM 9 and PM 5 of POD (Post Operative Day) 1

  2. side effect of popliteal sciatic nerve block

    any other sensation except pain

    Measured: at 0, 0.5, 1, 4, 8, 12 hours after operation. And AM 9 and PM 5 of POD (Post Operative Day) 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound guided popliteal sciatic nerve block with 0.2% ropivcaine in people with Pain, Postoperative and Preemptive Peripheral Nerve Block, run by Asan Medical Center 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 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 30 Jan 2018. 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. 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?

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?

Analgesic duration of nerve block (time frame: at 0, 0.5, 1, 4, 8, 12 hours after operation. And AM 9 and PM 5 of POD (Post Operative Day) 1). 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 30 Jan 2018.
