NCT ID NCT05798754
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new device called CompuFlo® can identify the right spot for a thoracic epidural as well as the standard 'loss of resistance' technique. Researchers will enroll 276 patients having gynecological surgery to compare success rates. The goal is to see if the technology offers a reliable alternative.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that CompuFlo® technology is a reliable alternative to the standard method for placing epidurals, potentially improving accuracy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial focused on a technical procedure, not a treatment. The technology may not prove superior or practical in routine use.
