Retrospective Femoral Nerve Block Study
NCT01293136 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This is a retrospective review to evaluate the efficacy of femoral nerve block in providing analgesia following reconstructive surgery of the knee and to compare the postoperative course of patients who received femoral nerve block with a retrospective cohort who were cared for prior to the institution of a regional anesthesia program. The investigators hypothesize that femoral nerve blockade limits postoperative opioid needs, improves analgesia and facilitates discharge home when compared to intravenous opioid use following reconstructive knee surgery.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01293136
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01293136 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 400 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Nationwide Children's Hospital, which has 239 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Other Reconstructive Surgery appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Femoral nerve block is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01293136 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
