About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Magnesium as Adjuvant to Ropivacaine for Sciatic Block at Popliteal Level.

The aim of the study is to evaluate if Magnesium added to ropivacaine can reduce onset time and can enhance offset time.

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomly divided into two groups: group "M" (Ropivacaina 7,5 mg/ml with Mg 4 mg/Kg)and group"C" (without Mg).

Standard monitoring is applied to each patient in perioperative period. An indipendent observer collect data: time to perform block, sensitivity onset,motor onset, pain during surgery and complication.

In the post-operative period till 24 hours for each patient is evaluated off-set time, pain and analgesic consumption.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of Mg as adjuvant to local anesthetic

    We evaluate if Mg affects onset and offset time of ropivacaine 7,5 mg/ml in sciatic block at popliteal level

    Measured: Till 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Post-operative pain

    We evaluate post-operative pain at rest and in movement at 3-6-12-24 hours with NRS scale

    Measured: 3 hours

  2. Post-operative analgesic consumption

    We evaluate consumption of opioid and non-opioid analgesic used in the post-operative period.

    Measured: till 24 hours

  3. Post-operative pain

    Evaluation of pain with NRS scale

    Measured: 6 hours

  4. post-operative pain

    Evaluation of pain with NRS scale

    Measured: 12 hours

  5. Post-operative pain

    Evaluation of pain with NRS scale

    Measured: 24 hours

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 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Evaluation of Mg as adjuvant to local anesthetic (time frame: Till 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02198547, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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.
