Does Perineural Clonidine Prolong Duration of a Nerve Block?
RandomizedCrossoverQuadruple-blindTreatment
Summary
The aim of this trial is to investigate if clonidine prolongs the duration of an adductor canal block. By using healthy volunteers the investigators can perform a bilateral adductor canal block and thereby control for a systemic effect to clarify if the effect is actually peripheral or systemic. The investigators hypothesis is that clonidine/dexmedetomidine as an adjunct to a local anaesthetic prolongs the duration of a peripheral nerve block by a peripheral mechanism.
