The Influence of Different Doses of Local Anesthetic on the Distribution of Anesthesia of the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve - a Randomized, Blinded, Paired Study of Healthy Individuals
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Ropivacaine Injection for Nerve Block and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate and describe the anatomical differences in distribution of the blocked area following a perineural LFCN (Lateral Femoris Cutaneous Nerve) block with either 8 ml or 16 ml of Ropivacaine, in relation to incision lines used in THA (Total Hip Arthroplasty). Furthermore, we examine any loss of motor function in Musculus Quadriceps due to posible involvement of the Femoral Nerve. This trial will be conducted in healthy volunteers, as a blinded, randomized, paired trial.

Timeline
Interventions
All 20 study participants will receive both treatment "Low dose Ropivacaine" and "High dose Ropivacaine" in form of a nerve block injection around the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Treatment "Low dose Ropivacaine" and "High dose Ropivacaine" will be randomized to be given in either right or left lower extremity. If the participant is randomized to receive treatment "Low dose Ropivacaine" in the right lower extremity, treatment "High dose Ropivacaine" will be given in the left lower extremity, and vice versa. Each participant will thus constitute as their own control.
