About this study

Diabetic foot ulcer is the most common cause of non traumatic lower extremity amputations (LEA) associated with diabetes. Traditionally general and spinal anesthesia were the preferred modality of anesthesia. The use of sciatic nerve block has recently gained popularity, however, without the supporting evidence of any benefits. This study was to evaluate the comparison of anesthesia modalities for hemodynamic stability and postoperative pain in diabetic foot patients undergoing minor LEA.

  2. Mean blood pressure

    Measured: from arrival at recovery room until 20miutes after surgery at recovery room

  3. Heart rate

    Measured: every ten minutes from preinduction to 30minutes after sugery

  4. Heart rate

    Measured: from arrival at recovery room until 20miutes after surgery at recovery room

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Foot Ulcer and Lower Extremity Amputation, run by Yonsei University.

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 4 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 2 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Mean blood pressure (time frame: every ten minutes from preinduction to 30minutes after sugery). 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 2 Jul 2015.
