WALANT Technique (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) for Carpal Tunnel Release.

WALA
Start date: September 11, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The carpal tunnel release (CTR) is now performed almost exclusively under regional anesthesia (RA) in France. RA requires the use of a pneumatic tourniquet to limit blood flow to the operated extremity and create a bloodless surgical field for a clear visualization of the anatomic structures by the surgeon. Multiple approaches to block the brachial plexus can be considered. The most common technique is the axillary block (BAX) that provides complete anesthesia for the patient's arm and forearm. This technique offers anesthesia not only for the surgical area but also for the root of the arm where the pneumatic tourniquet is placed. However this technique have limits: the persistence of a motor block in the arm and the forearm that is not compatible with a quick hospital discharge (short term ambulatory hospitalization) and the need for assistance with dressing and eating after surgery. More distal anesthetic techniques are proposed such as the troncular blocks (TRONC) that avoid motor block of the arm and offer an earlier recovery and autonomy for the patient. However, they lead to a poor tolerance to the tourniquet due to its application on a non-anesthetized area.The pain related to the pressure of the tourniquet can occur within the first few minutes of its inflation, get worse over time and persist for several minutes after its deflation. Therefore, TRONC procedure is less often performed compared to the BAX for major surgeries but it remains appropriate for CTR. The Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) technique is widely used in Canada and has been proposed for hand and wirst minor surgeries. WALANT uses a combination of a local anesthetic (LA) and epinephrine to induce anesthesia and hemostasis in the area of the surgical procedure in order to allow surgeries to be done without the use of tourniquet. Epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor agent that reduces blood flow at surgical site. This bloodless effect is visualized on the skin by a pale color. Thus, WALANT can provide a chemical tourniquet and eliminate the pain from a traditional arm tourniquet. However, this technique is performed with a short-acting LA and does not offer any postoperative analgesia. The association of TRONC using long-acting LA with the WALANT technique could combine the comfort of a surgery without tourniquet to a long-acting analgesia and thus could provide a superior overall comfort. The main objective of this prospective, multicentre, randomized, open-label, parallel-group controlled trial is to evaluate the interest of WALANT technique on patient comfort during CTR performed with TRONC, compared to the tourniquet.

CTRMTA
Start date: February 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Carpal tunnel release through dorsal wrist crease Mini Transverse incision, about 1.5 cm length.

NCT ID: NCT02313675 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

Pain Outcomes of Intra-operative IV Tylenol and/or IV Toradol for Carpal Tunnel and Distal Radius Fracture Surgeries

Start date: May 2015
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intra-operative administration of IV tylenol and/or IV toradol in minimizing post-operative pain for carpal tunnel patients and distal radius fracture patients.

NCT ID: NCT01853969 Completed - Clinical trials for Carpal Tunnel Release

Typing Proficiency Following Carpal Tunnel Release

Start date: May 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study will investigate how soon a patient's typing proficiency returns to their pre-operative levels following carpal tunnel release surgery. In order to determine this, patients will undergo typing tests at different time points that will record their typing accuracy and speed. The results will then be compared to determine on average how soon a person returns to their pre-operative baseline results.
