NCT00771862 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 16

Last updated 2018-03-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if putting local anesthetic through one or two percutaneous catheters placed next to the nerves that go to an amputated limb will decrease long-term pain in the amputated limb.

Conditions

  • Amputation
  • Phantom Limb Pain
  • Stump Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

perineural ropivicaine

Subjects will be randomized to one of two groups: ropivicaine 0.2% infusion for days 0-1 then infusion with normal saline (placebo) for days 1 through catheter removal (POD 4 or 5) or ropivicaine 0.4% infusion for day 0 through catheter removal (POD 4 or 5). The infusion rate will be set at 7-11 mL/h.
