Record History

  1. Study First Submitted
  • Stopped: an ongoing trial was terminated, suspended or withdrawn.
  • Notable: the trial’s plan changed such as a big move in its timeline or size, a new primary endpoint, sponsor or phase, or recruiting opened or resumed.
  • Minor: routine progress and housekeeping, such as sites added or enrollment closed.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine whether ultrasound-assisted lumbar puncture improves first-needle insertion success compared with the standard palpation technique in adults undergoing a clinically indicated lumbar puncture. The primary question is whether pre-procedural ultrasound localization increases the likelihood of successful cerebrospinal fluid collection on the first needle insertion. The study will also evaluate overall procedural success, the number of needle insertions and redirections, procedure time, the need for subsequent image-guided lumbar puncture, traumatic tap, procedural and post-procedural pain, and post-dural puncture headache. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to undergo lumbar puncture using either pre-procedural ultrasound localization or standard palpation of anatomical landmarks.
