Adductor Canal Block Ultrasound Anatomy in Volunteers
NCT03008564 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
There has been dispute about the location at which the adductor canal block should be performed (3-6). Two Common approaches have been used for ultrasound guided adductor canal blocks with the 'point of entry' being: 1. Point A: midway point between the ASIS and base of patella 2. Point B: Point which is 2-3 cm proximal to the site where the femoral artery becomes the popliteal artery as it traverses away from the sartorius muscle towards the femur at the adductor hiatus (2) We want to determine ultrasound anatomy in healthy volunteers by: 1. Measuring the distance between Point A and Point B 2. Studying the ultrasound anatomy at Point A and B - Determine their location with respect to the adductor canal and femoral triangle. This will allow us to determine which is the best site for performing an adductor canal block

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03008564
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03008564 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 60 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Iowa, which has 156 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Adductor Canal Block appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Ultrasound scanning of the lower limb in volunteers 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: NCT03008564 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Iowa. 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.
