What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain during 45 degrees active flexion of the knee

    0-100 mm at a visual analogue scale (VAS), at 4 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 4 hours postoperative

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Pain during 45 degrees active flexion of the knee

    0-100 mm at a visual analogue scale (VAS), registered at the intervals 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours postoperative, calculated as "the area under the curve" (AUC) for the interval 1-8 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 1-8 hours postoperative

  2. Pain during 45 degrees active flexion of the knee

    0-100 mm at a visual analogue scale (VAS), at 24 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  3. Pain during rest

    0-100 mm at a visual analogue scale (VAS), registered at the intervals 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours postoperative, calculated as "the area under the curve" (AUC) for the interval 1-8 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 1-8 hours postoperative

  4. Pain during rest

    0-100 mm at a visual analogue scale (VAS), at 24 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  5. Total morphine consumption

    Total morphine consumption at the intervals 0-8, 8-24 and 0-24 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 0-24 hours postoperative

  6. Postoperative nausea

    Nausea scores(0-3)registered at 1,2,4,6 and 8 hours postoperative, calculated as mean value for the interval 1-8 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 1-8 hours postoperative

  7. Postoperative nausea

    Nausea score(0-3)at 24 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  8. Postoperative vomiting

    Number of vomiting episodes at the intervals 0-8, 8-24 and 0-24 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 0-24 hours postoperative

  9. Zofran consumption

    Total zofran consumption at the intervals 0-8, 8-24 and 0-24 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 0-24 hours postoperative

  10. Sedation

    Sedation score (0-3) registered at 1,2,4,6 and 8 hours postoperative, calculated as the mean value for the interval 1-8 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 1-8 hours postoperative

  11. Sedation

    Sedation score (0-3) at 24 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Adductor-Canal-Blockade with Ropivacaine and Adductor-Canal-blockade with saline in people with Postoperative Pain and Knee Arthroplasty, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain during 45 degrees active flexion of the knee (time frame: 4 hours postoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01191593, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Aug 2013.
