About this study

Official title: Effect of Mobilization on Acute Postoperative Pain and Nociceptive Function After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Consecutive, Trial

Aim of the present study is twofold.

  • First we want to evaluate the effect of mobilization on acute postoperative pain
  • Second to test weather chances in pain sensitivity are occurring following surgery and mobilization after total knee arthroplasty
Read the detailed description

Little is known about the effect of mobilization on acute postoperative pain and mobilization induced pain, and if altered pain sensitivity occur under these circumstances.

  • First we want to evaluate the effect of mobilization on acute postoperative pain using the visual analog scale (VAS)
  • Second to test weather chances in pain sensitivity are occurring following surgery and mobilization after total knee arthroplasty, using two simple tools, the Pain Matcher and a Pressure Algometer.
Being tested
Mobilization (walking)

What participants receive

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

  • Mobilization (walking)Other

    25 meters twice

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain score on the visual analog scale (difference before and after two mobilisation seances)

    pain at rest (supine) 5 min after exercise(after the 2nd walk)

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pain score on the visual analog scale (difference before and after two mobilisation seances)

    pain at rest (supine) 20 min after the 2nd walk, pain during passive hip flexion and pain during passive knee flexion 5 and 20 min after the 2nd walk, as well as pain during the 2nd walk after 6 and 25 m

    Measured: up to 24 hours

  2. Pain sensitivity measured with pressure algometry and with pain matcher (difference before and after two mobilisation seances and difference before and after surgery)

    Nociceptive function before and after postoperative exercise

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pain, Postoperative and Pain Sensitivity, Postoperative, run by Hvidovre University Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 20 Apr 2012. 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. 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?

Pain score on the visual analog scale (difference before and after two mobilisation seances) (time frame: up to 24 hours). 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 20 Apr 2012.
