Study Summary

This is a prospective experimental pilot study of full-term non-emergent obese parturients whose labor is being managed with epidural anesthesia to determine if neuraxial block placement with pre-procedure handheld ultrasound affects time to placement or number of needle passes. Approximately 25 patients, presenting for delivery at the University of Kentucky HealthCare Obstetrics Department, will be randomized to either the ultrasound or palpation group, between study approval and 31 July 2022.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05052658

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05052658 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, 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 23 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Kentucky, which has 47 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 Obesity Complicating Childbirth appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Neuraxial block placement 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: NCT05052658 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Kentucky. 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.
