Comparison of Adductor Pollicis and Abductor Digiti Minimi Muscles (Thumb Vs. Fifth Digit) As Sites for Neuromuscular Monitoring with Electromyography
Hungary46 participantsStarted 2024-10-18
Plain-language summary
This study aims to evaluate the performance of the TetraGraph on two muscle groups: the adductor pollicis and the abductor digiti minimi. Theese muscles are located on the arms. Key time points for assessment will include the onset of neuromuscular blockade and the recovery from rocuronium blockade using sugammadex.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age \> or = 18 years old
* Patients willing to participate and provide an informed consent
* Patients undergoing elective surgical procedures that require use of NMBA agents (rocuronium) administered intraoperatively.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with disorders, such as stroke, carpal tunnel syndrome, broken wrist with nerve damage, Dupuytren contracture, or any similar wrist injury.
* Patients with systemic neuromuscular diseases such as myasthenia gravis.
* Patients with significant organ dysfunction that can significantly affect pharmacokinetics of neuromuscular blocking and reversal agents, i.e., severe renal impairment or end-stage liver disease.
* Patients having surgery that would involve prepping the arm into the sterile field.
* Patients receiving a rapid sequence induction.
* Patients allergic to rocuronium or sugammadex.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
The rate of recovery following sugammadex administration as recorded simultaneously from the hand (adductor pollicis) and fifth digit (abductor digiti minimi) muscles
Timeframe: depends on the depth of the neuromuscular block, a maximum of about 20 minutes
