Clinical Trial Summary

Chronic obliterative arteriopathy of the inferior limbs is a frequent condition observed in diabetics. The later stages induce pain at rest and trophic disorders (ulcer, gangrene) that lead to chronic limb ischemia. Without possible surgical revascularization ,pain management and tissue healing are used to avoid amputation.

Prevalence of diabetes is twice higher in Reunion Island than in metropolitan France. As a consequence, the rate co-morbobidities, such as chronic obliterative arteriopathy of the inferior limbs, is also increases.

This study compares the efficiency of two analgesic treatments in diabetics with forefoot injuries.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients are allocated in two groups regarding :

- their eligibility to analgesic treatment using continuous peripheral nerve blocks

- the unability of usual pain management to reduce their pain (pain visual analogic scale equal to or more than 4).

When patient 's response to pharmacological analgesic treatment is sufficient (pain visual analogic scale equal to or less than 3), patient is allocated to the control group.

Patients of experimental group received a continous analgesic treatment for 6 weeks using ropivacaine (2mg/ml, flow rate 7 ml/h).

Patients of control group received an analgesic treatment according the recommended pain ladder of World Health Organization (WHO). Opioids for mild-to-moderate pain are used in combination with a non-opioid analgesic, such as paracetamol, at the second step of the ladder. If regular maximum doses of opioids for mild-to-moderate pain do not achieve adequate analgesia, then they should be replaced with an opioid for moderate-to-severe pain, such as morphine.

Efficiency of both treatment is assessed the improvement of oxygen level in the tissue below the skin of the injured forefoot through the study. ;
