Trial summary

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one the most common surgical treatments performed for end stage degenerative arthritis of the knee. More than 700,000 procedures are currently performed yearly in the United States. This procedure usually results in moderate-to-severe pain in the immediate post-operative period.

About this study

Official title: Prospective Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Outcomes of Cannabinoid (CBD) Roll-on Topical Stick in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one the most common surgical treatments performed for end stage degenerative arthritis of the knee. More than 700,000 procedures are currently performed yearly in the United States. This procedure usually results in moderate-to-severe pain in the immediate post-operative period. Optimal pain control may allow early mobilization, accelerate rehabilitation, improve patient satisfaction, decrease length-of-stay, and optimize functional outcomes. The challenge, however, is to manage pain with alternative methods, reducing the role of opiate medications, which are highly addictive with myriad side effects.

In this prospective randomized double-blinded controlled study, the investigators aim to evaluate the benefits of an over-the-counter (OTC) transdermal CBD preparation in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty as a novel adjunct to the standard multi-modal analgesic regimen, to reduce postoperative pain and reduce the need for opiates after total knee arthroplasty.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative change in pain and change the need for opiates after total knee arthroplasty.

    opioid consumption after surgery will be calculated in morphine equivalents

    Measured: 14 days
