About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Ultrasound-guided Pectoral Nerves Block Type II and Intercostobrachial Nerve Block as a Supplement to Supraclavicular Block for Anesthesia of Proximal Arteriovenous Access in End-stage Renal Disease Patients

Brachial plexus block (BPB) is often utilized for proximal arm arteriovenous access creation. However, the medial upper arm and axilla are often inadequately anesthetized, as the Intercostobrachial nerve (which provides sensory supply to the axilla, upper medial arm, and a small area at the upper lateral chest) is not a component of the brachial plexus. This requires repeated, an intraoperative local anesthetic (LA) supplementation up to conversion into GA. The intercostobrachial nerve (ICBN) is a purely sensory nerve that arises primarily from the second intercostal nerve (T2) with occasional contribution from T3. Therefore, It is not a component of the brachial plexus and is not anesthetized by brachial plexus blockade. The ICBN can be blocked together with other nerves, such as the pectoral, intercostal, and long thoracic nerves in a recently described technique named pectoral nerves block type II (PECS II ).In this thesis, investigators compared the use of the PECS II block and ICBN block as a supplement to supraclavicular brachial plexus block for providing complete anesthesia of the upper arm for fistula creation surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. intraoperative local anesthetic requirement

    volume of local anesthetic

    Measured: 1-2 hours after surgery start

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. postoperative pain

    Visual analogue score (0-10) where 0=no pain and 10=the worst pain

    Measured: 24 hours after end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ultrasUltrasound-guided Intercostobrachial nerve block supplemental to supraclavicular block with 30 ml 0.25% bupivacaine (15 ml 0.5% bupivacaine will be added to 15 m and ultrasound-guided pectoral nerves block type II supplemental to supraclavicular block in people with Intraoperative Analgesia and Postoperative Pain, run by Menoufia 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 6 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 20 Sep 2021. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

intraoperative local anesthetic requirement (time frame: 1-2 hours after surgery start). 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 20 Sep 2021.
