About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study Between Ultrasound Guided Interscalene Block and Combined Ultrasound Guided Suprascapular and Axillary Nerve Blocks for Proximal Humerus Fracture Surgeries.

A Comparative study Between Ultrasound guided Interscalene Block and Combined Ultrasound guided suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks for proximal humerus fracture Surgeries.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether (Suprascapular nerve block) and (Axillary nerve block) are effective in providing analgesia for shoulder surgery as an (Interscalene block), while minimizing the occurrence of hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis. We hypothesized that analgesia with a (Suprascapular nerve block and Axillary nerve block) would be noninferior compared with patients receiving an interscalene block and the incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paralysis would be significantly lower with (Suprascapular nerve block and Axillary nerve block) in proximal humerus fracture surgeries.

What participants receive

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

  • Patients will receive Supra scapular nerve block and Axillary nerve block.Procedure or surgery

    Suprascapular nerve block will be done by posterior approach with the patient sitting up and leaning forward. The linear ultrasound probe will identify the suprascapular nerve, after that we will inject aliquots of Sunnypivacaine 0.5% 15 ml after negative aspiration of blood.

    For the axillary nerve block, the ultrasound transducer will be placed in a sagittal plane over the humeral head on the posterior aspect of the arm to identify the deltoid muscle, neck of the humerus, the teres minor muscle, the circumflex humeral artery, and the triceps muscle. After the neurovascular quadrangular space identification and observing the deltoid muscle response to stimulation, a local anesthetic (10 ml 0.25% Sunnypivacaine) will be injected with the in-plain technique.

  • Patients will receive Interscalene block.Procedure or surgery

    Interscalene nerve block will be done ultrasound-guided using a linear array ultrasound transducer. While the patient is in the supine position, the head will be rotated to the contralateral side of the block. Ultrasound scanning will be performed in the transverse plane with long axis of the probe parallel to clavicle to visualize the brachial plexus between the anterior and middle scalene muscles. A 5-cm 22-gauge insulated needle will then be inserted in line with the probe in a lateral-to-medial needle orientation. Local anesthetic solution will then be injected in 15-ml aliquots Sunnypivacaine 0.5% after negative aspiration for blood to achieve spread posterior to or between the C5 and C6 nerve roots.

What is being measured

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

  1. Individual visual analog pain scores (VAS) at 0, 6, 12 and 24 h postoperatively (VAS; 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain imaginable).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Patients will receive Supra scapular nerve block and Axillary nerve block. and Patients will receive Interscalene block. in people with Proximal Humerus Fractures, 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 19 Sep 2024. 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?

Individual visual analog pain scores (VAS) at 0, 6, 12 and 24 h postoperatively (VAS; 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain imaginable). (time frame: 24 HOURS). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Sep 2024.
