Trial summary

The more effective use of ultrasound in regional anaesthesia techniques has made different block applications possible. Lumbar plexus block is also used for post-operative analgesia and surgical anaesthesia. Currently, in-plane ultrasound-guided LPB is widely used in short-axis imaging and Shamrock imaging.

About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Efficacy of Different Types of Lumbar Plexus Block Applied With Ultrasound-guided Shamrock Method

The more effective use of ultrasound in regional anaesthesia techniques has made different block applications possible. Lumbar plexus block is also used for post-operative analgesia and surgical anaesthesia. Currently, in-plane ultrasound-guided LPB is widely used in short-axis imaging and Shamrock imaging.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this use is to investigate the effectiveness of lumbar plexus block application applied with in-plane and out-of-plane methods accompanied by Shamrock imaging.

Being tested
in-plane needle guidance, out-of-plane needle guidance
Medical subject headings
Femoral Neck Fractures

What is being measured

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

  1. Block application time

    The stopwatch will be started by another researcher with the needle skin penetration and the stopwatch will be stopped as soon as the needle leaves the skin.

    Measured: up to 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of interventions

    intervention from the same or another site after exiting the skin

    Measured: up to 20 minutes

  2. The number of needle guidance

    Retraction and re-advancement of the needle after skin entry without exiting the skin

    Measured: up to 20 minutes

  3. sensory block

    Both lower limbs sensory block time after the applied block will be evaluated by pinprick and cold test (10.15., 20., 25., 30., 35. and 40 minutes).

    Measured: up to 40 minutes

  4. motor block

    Both lower limbs Modified Bromage scale was used to evaluate motor block. Modified Bromage scale 0 No motor block

    1. Raises the knee in flexion
    2. Raises the ankle
    3. Full block, can't move his foot

    Measured: up to 40 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing in-plane needle guidance and out-of-plane needle guidance in people with Femoral Neck Fractures and Lumbosacral Plexus, run by Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Korgün Ökmen, Assoc. PhD. (+902242955000, korgunokmen@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Block application time (time frame: up to 20 minutes). 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 18 Oct 2023.
