About this study

Official title: Observational Study : Minimal Intensity of Stimulation During Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Nerve Block According to Anatomic Needle Type Position

The purpose of the study is define the minimal intensity of stimulation range at which the needle is closed to the nerve without penetrating its surface (epineurium layer) in ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockade

Read the detailed description

The needle is placed at the target under ultrasound guidance the nerve stimulator is turned on and the intensity increased until motor response is observed the Minimum Intensity Observation (MIS) is recorded before injection of local anesthetic

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Measure of the minimal intensity of stimulation during ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockadeProcedure or surgery

    A needle is placed at the target under ultrasound guidance, the nerve stimulator is turned on and the intensity increased until motor response is observed. The Minimal Intensity of Stimulation is recorded before injection of local anesthetic

Receives: Procedure: Measure of the minimal intensity of stimulation during ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockade

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement of Minimum Intensity Stimulation

    Minimal Intensity Stimulation (MIS) was measured Using a specific nerve stimulator (modified HNS 12 B. BRAUN, Melsungen, Germany) ; the value are noted in mA. [0- 1.5].

    The time frame is only related to procedure of PNB. In other term, the period of assessment should be estimated between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.

    Measured: estimated between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. tissure pressure at the target

    Tissue pressure at the target was measured Using a specific pressure sensor (compuflow pump Milestone Scientific, Livingston, NJ, USA) ; the value are noted in mm Hg. [0- 900].

    from beginning to end of ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockade

    Measured: estimated between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measure of the minimal intensity of stimulation during ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blockade in people with Orthopedic Surgery, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 9 sites in France.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 13 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France. 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?

Measurement of Minimum Intensity Stimulation (time frame: estimated between 2 minutes and 20 minutes.). 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 NCT03430453, 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 13 Feb 2018.
