NCT ID:
NCT01144559
Brief Summary:
This is a research study to determine if the way local anesthetic- or numbing medication- is delivered through a tiny tube next to the nerves that go to the thigh affects the strength and sensation in the thigh.
Detailed Description:
Specific Aim: Research study to test the null hypothesis that differing the delivery method (continuous basal infusion vs. repeated bolus doses) but providing an equal total dose of Ropivacaine has no impact on quadriceps muscle strength. These results will help define the optimal delivery method of local anesthetic used for continuous peripheral nerve blocks and help guide future research in this clinically relevant area.
