About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Ultrasound Guided Continuous Sciatic Block Nerve With a Longitudinal Approach in the Management of Vascular Pain in Critical Ischemia of Lower Limbs Patients : Prospective Descriptive Study of Exploratory Cohort

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is associated with severe pain that is a therapeutic challenge whit therapeutic limits for the use of conventional analgesics medications. ultrasound-guided continuous sciatic block (CCBN) is strategy effective and safe to consider in this patients.

This prospective descriptive exploratory cohort study evaluates CCBN as a effective therapeutic tools for patients whit (CLI)

Read the detailed description

Critical limb ischemia is the final stage of peripheral vascular disease identified by resting pain greater than 2 weeks with ulcers or gangrene in 1 or both extremities. Pain relief is a therapeutic challenge due to its severity, which significantly affects the quality of life, and the comorbidities that occur frequently in these patients, which limits the use of analgesics medications. Regional techniques can play an important role as they are safe and effective in analgesic management . Within these we find the ultrasound guided continuous sciatic block as a strategy to consider in the periods of exacerbation of pain, as a bridge to a palliative or resolutive management.

Prospective descriptive exploratory cohort study.

Patients with a diagnosis of critical ischemia of the lower limb with severe pain and side effects of opioids will be included. A continuous ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block with longitudinal approach will be performed, with no anti-aggregation or anticoagulation suspension, continuing with an infusion of Bupivacaine 0.1%

The primary outcome will be numerical pain rating scale (NPrs) and secondary outcome Pinprick test, catheter duration, opioid consumption reduction and side effects to it.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain level measurement with Numeric Rate Score (NRS)

    0-10 where 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum possible pain

    Measured: 5 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pinprick test

    evaluation of superficial sensitivity in S1 dermatome positive or negative

    Measured: 5 days

  2. catheter duration

    number of days in which the catheter is functional

    Measured: 5 days

  3. opioid consumption reduction

    opioid consumption in morphine equivalence

    Measured: 5 days

  4. Delirium

    minimental test score from 0 to 30 points. Delirium positive for less than 24

    Measured: 5 days

  5. Nauseas and Vomit

    yes or not present

    Measured: 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Limb Ischemia, run by Universidad de Antioquia at 2 sites in Colombia.

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 5 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Colombia. 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?

Pain level measurement with Numeric Rate Score (NRS) (time frame: 5 days). 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 5 May 2021.
