What participants receive

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

  • Bilateral Suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment blockProcedure or surgery

    Suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) is one of the commonly used regional analgesia techniques for postoperative analgesia in lower extremity surgeries.

  • Local infiltration analgesiaProcedure or surgery

    Local infiltration analgesia is applied to the posterior part of the knee, including the periosteum, ligaments, muscle and/or skin area before closing the surgical field.

What is being measured

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

  1. Suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) produces adequate analgesic effect in knee arthroplasty.

    The aim of this study was to observationally compare the analgesic efficacy of local infiltration analgesia (LIA) and suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) techniques in patients who underwent bilateral knee operations. Postoperative pain follow-up of the patients will be done by recording Visual analog scales (VAS) at 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours. Additional analgesic needs and unwanted side effects will also be recorded.

    Measured: 4 months

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?

Suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) produces adequate analgesic effect in knee arthroplasty. (time frame: 4 months). 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?
