Trial summary

Ophthalmological procedures such as cataract extraction can be carried out with a peribulbar block (PBB). The advantages of this anesthetic technique include a lower incidence of coughing, unwanted movements and emesis during awakening, in addition to providing adequate postoperative analgesia.

About this study

Official title: Anesthesia With Peribulbar Block: Lidocaine-bupivacaine vs Lidocaine-bupivacaine-fentanyl

Ophthalmological procedures such as cataract extraction can be carried out with a peribulbar block (PBB). The advantages of this anesthetic technique include a lower incidence of coughing, unwanted movements and emesis during awakening, in addition to providing adequate postoperative analgesia. The researchers want to investigate whether the use of fentanyl citrate by peribulbar route, when administered with a local anesthetic, shortens the anesthetic latency, interfere with the degree of akinesia and if provides greater postoperative analgesia.

What participants receive

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

  • peribulbar block 1 lidocaine/bupivacaineDrug

    Also called lidocaine/bupivacaine

    Peribulbar block: 100 mg of lidocaine 5% and 15 mg of bupivacaine 0.5% for a total volume of the anesthetic mixture of 5 ml.

  • peribulbar block 2 lidocaine/bupivacaine/fentanylDrug

    Also called lidocaine/bupivacaine/fentanyl

    Peribulbar block: 100 mg of lidocaine 5%, 15 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine and 50 mcg of fentanyl citrate for a total volume of the anesthetic mixture of 6 ml.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing peribulbar block 1 lidocaine/bupivacaine and peribulbar block 2 lidocaine/bupivacaine/fentanyl in people with Anesthesia, Local, run by Centro Medico Docente la Trinidad.

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 4 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 23 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Latency period (lost of corneal reflex) (time frame: 10 minutes until the start of surgery). 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 23 Oct 2018.
