Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Sciatic nerve blocks are frequently used for anesthesia or analgesia for surgery of the lower legs. Currently, if ultrasound is used to find the sciatic nerve, the leg must be raised to locate the nerve with the ultrasound probe on the back of the thigh. In pediatric surgery, the patients are anesthetized (asleep) before the block is given. It is difficult for one person to administer the sciatic nerve block using this method. We would like to identify the sciatic nerve using ultrasound on the side of the thigh and its location to the adjacent structures.
