What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Summary

This study aims to pinpoint the exact start and end of the adductor canal, a key area for numbing the thigh during knee surgery. Researchers will measure distances from the hip bone to the knee using ultrasound in 200 patients and compare these with measurements from cadavers. The goal is to create a simple formula to guide doctors to the best injection site, making nerve blocks more consistent and effective.

What this could mean

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 give doctors a more reliable way to locate the adductor canal for nerve blocks, potentially improving pain management after knee surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage anatomical study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not translate into better patient outcomes or work for all body types.
