Trial summary

Background: The Local infiltration analgesic (LIA) technique has been widely used to reduce opioid requirements and improve the patient's mobilization after total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the evidence for LIA in THA remains to be clarified. Read more about this study

About this study

Background: The Local infiltration analgesic (LIA) technique has been widely used to reduce opioid requirements and improve the patient's mobilization after total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the evidence for LIA in THA remains to be clarified.

Purpose: To evaluate whether a single shot LIA in addition to a multimodal analgesic regimen reduces acute postoperative pain and opioid requirements after THA.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • local infiltration anesthesia using Ropivacaine and EpinephrineProcedure or surgery

    150 ml Ropivacaine 2mg/ml + 0,5 ml Epinephrine 1 mg/ml: The first 50 ml will be injected in the periacetabular tissue after insertion of the acetabular component. After insertion of the femoral component, 50 ml will be inserted in the gluteus muscles and the proximal part of the iliotibial tract. The last 50 ml will be inserted in the subcutaneous layer.

  • local infiltration anesthesia using salineProcedure or surgery

    150 ml 0,9% saline: The first 50 ml will be injected in the periacetabular tissue after insertion of the acetabular component. After insertion of the femoral component, 50 ml will be inserted in the gluteus muscles and the proximal part of the iliotibial tract. The last 50 ml will be inserted in the subcutaneous layer.

  • Multimodal analgesic regimenProcedure or surgery

    All patients will be operated under spinal anaesthesia with 2.0-3.0 ml Bupivacaine 0.5 % plain, preferably at the L2/L3 alternatively the L3/L4 vertebral interspace. Propofol infusion will be administrated for sedation if needed. Postoperative morphine will be given as needed intravenously when needed. After transfer to a specialized hip arthroplasty unit with a well-defined and experienced program for multimodal rehabilitation, multimodal oral opioid-sparing analgesia will be given to all patients; NSAIDS and Acetaminophen will be given at regular intervals and Oxycodone as needed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing local infiltration anesthesia using Ropivacaine and Epinephrine, local infiltration anesthesia using saline and Multimodal analgesic regimen in people with Osteoarthritis, Hip, run by St. Olavs Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 1 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 31 Mar 2017. 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 Norway. 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.

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?

postoperative pain assessed by numeric rating scale (time frame: 1 day (first postoperative day)). 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 NCT02359136, 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 31 Mar 2017.
