This is thought to be mediated by attenuating the release of inflammatory mediators, reducing ectopic neuronal discharge, and inhibiting potassium channel-mediated discharge of nociceptive C-fibres .\n\nTramadol is a unique opioid with two modes of action for inhibition of pain, an opioid action mediated by the μ receptor and a non-opioid action mediated by α-2-adrenergic and serotoninergic activity .The monoaminergic activity of tramadol inhibits the descending pain pathways, resulting in suppression of nociceptive transmission at the spinal level . Tramadol also exhibits local anaesthetic properties by blocking K+ channels .Many studies have characterized the effects of tramadol as an adjuvant to local anaesthetic in brachial plexus block .'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '60 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status I-II patients older than 18years and scheduled for internal fixation for forearm fractures\n* Both sexes\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with known allergy to the study drugs\n* Skin infection at site of needle puncture\n* Significant organ dysfunction\n* Coagulopathy\n* Drug or alcohol abuse\n* Epilepsy and psychiatric illness that would interfere with perception and assessment of pain'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04551833', 'briefTitle': 'Tramadol Versus Dexamethasone as Adjuvant to Levobupivacaine Supraclavicular Block', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Assiut University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Tramadol Versus Dexamethasone as Adjuvant to Levobupivacaine Under Ultrasound Guided Supraclavicular Block of Forearm Fractures', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'supraclavicular block'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Group (T) : 30 patients (Tramadol group)', 'description': 'Patient will receive 0.4 mL/kg of 0.5% Levobupivacaine plus 1.5 mg/kg Tramadol.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Levobupivacaine']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Group (D) : 30 patients (Dexamethasone group):', 'description': 'Patient will receive 0.4 mL/kg of 0.5% Levobupivacaine plus 8mg of Dexamethasone', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Levobupivacaine']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Levobupivacaine', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Tramadol versus Dexamethasone as adjuvant to Levobupvacain', 'armGroupLabels': ['Group (D) : 30 patients (Dexamethasone group):', 'Group (T) : 30 patients (Tramadol group)']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Esraa Gamal Abdel Nasser, Resident', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'esraagamalabdelnasser@gmail.com', 'phone': '+201069721653'}, {'name': 'Mohamed Hassan Bakri, Professor', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'mhbakri@gmail.com', 'phone': '+201066356375'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Assiut University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Resident of Anesthesia, ICU and Pain management', 'investigatorFullName': 'Esraa Gamal', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Assiut University'}}}}
