About this study

Official title: Ultrasound-guided Clavipectoral Fascial Plane Block Versus Ultrasound-guided Superficial Cervical Plexus Block in Patients Undergoing Fracture Clavicle Operation

Ultrasound-guided Clavipectoral fascial plane block versus ultrasound-guided superficial Cervical plexus block in patients undergoing fracture clavicle operation

Read the detailed description

The clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) is a novel regional anesthesia technique that has been utilized for clavicular fracture surgery. It has been hypothesized that the CPB is an effective regional anesthesia technique for peri-operative analgesia since the terminal branches of many of the sensory nerves like suprascapular, subclavian, lateral pectoral, and long thoracic nerves pass through the plane between the clavipectoral fascia and the clavicle itself.

The ultrasound-guided superficial cervical plexus (SCP) block may be useful for providers in emergency care settings who care for patients with ear, neck, and clavicular region injuries, including clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular dislocations. The SCP originates from the anterior rami of the C1-C4 spinal nerves and gives rise to 4 terminal branches (greater auricular, lesser occipital, transverse cervical, and suprascapular nerves) that provide sensory innervation to the skin and superficial structures of the anterolateral neck and sections of the ear and shoulder.

What participants receive

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

  • pain assessment after clavicular fracture repairDiagnostic test

    This group includes (40) patients will have medial and lateral clavipectoral (CPB) block ultrasound guided using 20 ml Bupivacaine 0.5% for medial and lateral block equally after induction of general anesthesia.

Study groups in NCT05881473
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group cervical: (control group):OtherThis group includes (40) patients. The patient will be placed in a supine position with the head turned to the contralateral side for adequate exposure of the neck and the upper chest. A linear high-frequency ultrasound probe (6-13 MHz, Sonosite) will be placed at the lateral side of the neck over the midpoint of the sterno-cleido-mastoid muscle at the level of the cricoid cartilage, which corresponds with the C6 transverse process. Once the muscle is identified, the probe will then be moved posteriorly until the posterior tapering edge of the muscle is identified where the interscalene groove between the anterior and middle scalene muscles is identified. Then, the superficial cervical plexus (SCP) will be visualized. A five-cm block needle will then be introduced from lateral to medial using the posterior-in-plane technique until its tip is placed near the SCP above the prevertebral fascia.10 mL of 0.5% Bupivacaine will be deposited.

Group clavipectoral: (study group)OtherThis group includes (40) patients will have medial and lateral clavipectoral (CPB) block ultrasound guided using 20 ml Bupivacaine 0.5% for medial and lateral block equally after induction of general anesthesia. The patient will be placed in a supine position with the head turned to the contralateral side, and the shoulder will be padded with a small pillow. a 6- to 13-MHz linear array probe will be used for regional anesthesia. During CPB, an ultrasound probe will be placed on both the inner and outer one-third of the anterior surface of the clavicle. Using the in-plane technique, a 22-gauge needle will be inserted and advanced into the space between the periosteum of the clavicle and clavipectoral fascia in a caudal to cephalad direction, and a total of 20 mL of 0.5% Bupivacaine will be equally injected medially and laterally

What is being measured

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

  1. visual analogue score (VAS score) post operative

    change in visual analogue score (VAS score) to assess pain post operative described as 10= the sever pain and zero = no pain

    Measured: starting at the recovery room then every 2 hours for 8 hours post operatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. hemodynamics

    Heart rate

    Measured: every 2 hours for 8 hours

  2. hemodynamics

    mean arterial blood pressure

    Measured: every 2 hours for 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pain assessment after clavicular fracture repair in people with Fracture Clavicle, run by Ain Shams 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 6 Oct 2023. 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.

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?

visual analogue score (VAS score) post operative (time frame: starting at the recovery room then every 2 hours for 8 hours post operatively). 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 6 Oct 2023.
