Trial summary

Rebound pain after surgeries under peripheral nerve block is defined as the appearance of severe acute postoperative pain after regression of the sensory block. The incidence of this condition can reach up to 40-50% in patients undergoing ambulatory surgeries. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Rebound Pain After Outpatient Orthopaedic Foot Surgery Under Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block: Influence of Sensory Block Duration. An Observational Study.

Rebound pain after surgeries under peripheral nerve block is defined as the appearance of severe acute postoperative pain after regression of the sensory block. The incidence of this condition can reach up to 40-50% in patients undergoing ambulatory surgeries. Rebound pain represents a clinically significant issue that may outweigh the benefits of regional anaesthesia. This is particularly significant for painful outpatient surgeries, where inadequately managed pain can result in distress, potentially affecting patient satisfaction and recovery. It may also lead to unplanned utilization of healthcare resources or readmissions.

Orthopaedic foot surgery is a prevalent outpatient surgery, potentially painful, where rebound may be a difficult challenge. However, to date, prospective studies focusing specifically on rebound pain in outpatient foot surgery are limited. Identifying conditions associated with rebound pain or at-risk patients could facilitate the development of preventive and treatment strategies, thereby enhancing pain management or relief. Younger age, female sex and bone surgery are non-modifiable factors associated with severe rebound pain. Perioperative intravenous dexamethasone has been identified as a modifiable independent risk factor associated with a reduced incidence of rebound pain. Regarding anaesthetic factors, the duration of the peripheral block has been proposed as a potentially modifiable factor influencing rebound pain; however, current evidence does not support this hypothesis.

The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the incidence of rebound pain specifically in outpatient orthopaedic foot surgery involving bone under popliteal sciatic nerve block and to assess the possible association between sensory block duration and the incidence of rebound pain.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of rebound pain.

    Rebound pain is defined as the appearance of severe acute postoperative pain (numerical rating scale (NRS) ≥7) after regression of the sensory block of the sciatic nerve block.

    The highest self-reported NRS pain score after the block wears off and NRS pain scores at 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours (if necessary) after the block will be recorded.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours.

  2. Sensory block duration of the sciatic nerve block.

    Sensory block duration is defined as the time (hours) from block establishment to the appearance of pain at the surgical site.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rebound Pain and Sciatic Nerve Block, run by Hospital Universitario Doctor Peset at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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 4 Dec 2024. 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 Spain. 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?

Incidence of rebound pain. (time frame: Up to 72 hours.). The study lists 2 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 4 Dec 2024.
