About this study

Official title: Ultrasound-guided Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block After Hip Fracture : the Effect of the Local Anesthetic Volume on the Quality of Preoperative Analgesia

participants were randomly divided into three groups : group 30 , group 40 and group 50 . for all the three groups an ultrasound guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block had been performed.

for group 30 ,a volume of 30 ml of 0,2 % ropivacaine had been injected for group 40 ,a volume of 40 ml of 0,2 % ropivacaine had been injected for group 50 ,a volume of 50 ml of 0,2 % ropivacaine had been injected

Read the detailed description

participants were randomly divided into three groups : group 30 , group 40 and group 50 . for all the three groups an ultrasound guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block had been performed.

A linear ultrasound probe was placed in the sagittal plane to obtain an image of the superior iliac spine.the fascia iliaca and sartorious,iliopsoas,and oblique internal muscles were identified by sliding the probe medially. After identifiying the "bow-tie sign"formed by the muscle fascias , an 50 mm needle was introduced 1-2 cm inferior to the inguinal ligament.using an in-plane approch, the fascia iliaca was penetrated and hydrodissected , separating the fascia iliaca from the iliac muscle. in this created space a total volume of 30 ml, 40ml or 50ml of 0.2% ropivacaine was injected , respectively to group 30 ,group 40 and group 50 .

pain score at rest and with a straight leg raise of the affected limb to 15 degrees were assessed before and 30 minutes after block performance.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in pain score on movement

    change in verbal ranking scale(( vrs) with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst imaginable pain)) during passive leg elevation to 15 degrees of the affected limb , before and 30 minutes after block placement

    Measured: before and 30 minutes after block placement

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. change in pain score at rest

    change in verbal ranking scale(( vrs) with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst imaginable pain)) at rest, before and 30 minutes after block placement

    Measured: before and 30 minutes after block placement

  2. assessement of sensory block

    sensory assessment of Femoral nerve , obturator nerve, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve using the cold test . in the anterior , medial and lateral aspects of the thigh.

    Measured: 30 minutes after block placement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing supra inguinal fascia iliaca block in people with Hip Fractures, run by University Tunis El Manar at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 6 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 Jan 2021. 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 Tunisia. 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?

change in pain score on movement (time frame: before and 30 minutes after block placement). 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 Jan 2021.
