About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study on the Efficacy of Periarticular Single Anesthetic Drug Compared With Multimodal Drug Injection in Controlling Pain After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Double Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine the periarticular multimodal drug injection has more efficacy for controlling pain after TKA than single anaesthetic drug injection.

Read the detailed description

Many studies have to determine the efficacy of periarticular multimodal drug injection or single local anaesthetic drug comparing with placebo for pain controlled in TKA. But in this study would like to determine which one of both drugs are more efficacy.

In multimodal drug injection consist of levobupivacaine, morphine, ketorolac and epinephrine while single anaesthetic drug has levobupivacaine and epinephrine.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • single anaesthetic drugDrug

    Also called levobupivacaine, chirocaine

    inject periarticular tissue of the knee after implantation

  • multimodal drug injectionDrug

    Also called anaesthetic cocktail

    inject periarticular tissue of the knee

What is being measured

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

  1. pain score

    pain score at rest and activity between 2 groups every 4 hours until 48 hours after surgery

    Measured: 48 hour after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. time to request analgesic drug

    time when patient request morphine from patient controlled analgesia after intra-operative drug injection

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing single anaesthetic drug and multimodal drug injection in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Thammasat University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 2 Apr 2014. 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 Thailand. 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. 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 score (time frame: 48 hour after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Apr 2014.
