About this study

This study evaluates the addition of continuous infusion of lidocaine or continuous infusion of magnesium sufate in the duration of spinal anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

Both lidocaine and magnesium sulfate have been shown to prolong spinal anesthesia.

The number of studies using magnesium sulfate to improve spinal anesthesia is greater than the number of studies using lidocaine, and methodology varies significantly between studies.

Adverse effects of lidocaine are different from magnesium sulfate's. Lidocaine has a wider therapeutic interval with fewer side effects, including: Drowsiness, Feeling Anxious, Feeling Cold, Nervous, Numbness And Tingling, Signs And Symptoms At Injection Site, Twitching.

Magnesium sulfate's side effects include: heart disturbances, breathing difficulties, poor reflexes, confusion, weakness, flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling), sweating, lowered blood pressure, feeling like you might pass out, anxiety, cold feeling, extreme drowsiness, muscle tightness or contraction, or headache.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitive block duration

    Thermal and pinprick level lowering to S2

    Measured: 9 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)

    Time to Bromage return to baseline

    Measured: 9 hours

  2. Two levels regression

    Time from maximal thermal (cold) sensitive block level to lower two levels

    Measured: 9 hours

  3. Pain at postanesthesia care unit

    Maximum pain (0-10 verbal scale) during PACU

    Measured: 1-3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Magnesium Sulfate and Lidocaine in people with Anesthesia and Pain, run by Brasilia University Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 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 27 Feb 2020. 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 Brazil. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Sensitive block duration (time frame: 9 hours). 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 27 Feb 2020.
