About this study

Official title: A Three-Arm, Double-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Adductor Canal Pain Catheters Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

The purpose of this research is to study how well the adductor canal pain catheters works after a total knee arthroplasty or replacement of the knee joint. The catheter works by using either an intermittent bolus injection to provide a large dose of medication or continuous infusion of pain medicine, ropivacaine 0.2%, compared to a single-shot adductor canal block.

Being tested
Ropivacaine Continuous Infusion, Ropivacaine Intermittent Bolus, Placebo
Medical subject headings
Osteoarthritis, Knee

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-operative Pain Levels

    Patient self-reported pain intensity score measured on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) rated from 0-10, where 0 was no pain and 10 was the worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: 14 days post-operatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Amount of Medication Administered

    Amount of medication administered via the patient-controlled function on the adductor catheter

    Measured: 60 days, or until discontinuation of narcotic medication (whichever is later)

  2. Duration of Narcotic Used

    Number of days that narcotic use was required.

    Measured: 60 days, or until discontinuation of narcotic medication (whichever is later)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ropivacaine Continuous Infusion and Ropivacaine Intermittent Bolus in people with Osteoarthritis, Knee, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 Feb 2024. 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 United States. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Post-operative Pain Levels (time frame: 14 days post-operatively). 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 22 Feb 2024.
