Effectiveness of Distal Peripheral Nerve Blocks on Postoperative Pain Management After Ambulatory Thumb Resection Arthroplasty.
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Levobupivacaine for Postoperative Pain. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to determinate if distal ultrasound guided peripheral nerve blocks on target nerves (radial and median nerve blocks at the elbow), using low volume and low concentration of long acting local anesthetic provide better postoperative pain control compare with systemic analgesia alone after thumb resection arthroplasty (TRA) due to a prolonged selective sensitive block on the tissue trauma.

Timeline
Interventions
In dPNBs group, we performed ultrasound guided dPNBs on radial and median nerves using low concentration and low volume of long acting local anesthetic (0.125% levobupivacaine, 5 ml per nerve). Using low concentrations of levobupivacaine on target nerves could achieve a prolonged sensitive block in the surgical area without motor block of the hand.
