About this study

The aim of this study is to calculate the minimum effective volume of local anesthetic for peribulbar block in patients undergoing cataract extraction surgery.

Read the detailed description

The main goal of this study is to estimate the minimum effective volume(MEV90) of local anesthetic and hyaluronic acid given for local anesthesia of the eye for 2 different axial length groups of patients undergoing eye surgery. Volume assignment was carried out using a biased coin design (BCD) up-and-down sequential method (UDM), where the volume given to each patient depends on the response of the previous one. The MEV90 was calculated using isotonic regression with bias-corrected 95% confidence interval (CI) derived by boots trapping. The mean value of the estimate was obtained from 3000 bootstrap samples.

Study groups in NCT04036201
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1(22-24 mm)ExperimentalGroup 1 (patients with axial length between 22 and 24 mm): received a mixture of bupivacaine 0.5% (3ml) + lidocaine 2% (3ml) + hyalurindase 150 IU (1 ml) to a total volume of 7 ml.
Receives: Drug: Bupivacaine
Group 2(24.1-26 mm)ExperimentalGroup 2 (patients with axial length between 24.1 and 26 mm): received a mixture of bupivacaine 0.5% (3ml) + lidocaine 2% (3ml) + hyaluronidase 150 IU (1 ml) to a total volume of 7 m
Receives: Drug: Bupivacaine

What is being measured

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

  1. The minimum effective volume of local anesthetic of the eye in relation to the eyeball axial length.

    The minimum effective volume of local anesthetic in peribulbar block in relation to the eyeball axial length.The minimum volume which will achieve adequate sensory and motor block within 10 minutes.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bupivacaine in people with Peribulbar Block, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Oct 2019. 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 Egypt. 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?

The minimum effective volume of local anesthetic of the eye in relation to the eyeball axial length. (time frame: 10 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 NCT04036201, 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 Oct 2019.
