About this study

Official title: Post Operative Pain Control Among Intrathecal 0.1 mg Morphine, Femoral Nerve Block, or Periarticular Infiltration of 20 mL of 0.25% Bupivacaine in Patients Post Intramedullary Hip Screw

Falls are a common problem in elderly patients resulting fractured femur, which require early operation. Adequate postoperative pain control will provide good recovery. The investigators will compare the efficacy of postoperative pain control among intrathecal morphine, femoral nerve block, and periarticular infiltration with bupivacaine in patients undergone intramedullary hip screw under spinal anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

Study methods :

Every patients without any exclusion criteria will be performed spinal anesthesia by 0.5% heavy bupivacaine then divided into 4 groups

  1. Controlled group : spinal anesthesia alone
  2. Femoral nerve block by 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine before spinal anesthesia
  3. Spinal anesthesia plus 0.1 mg morphine intrathecally
  4. Spinal anesthesia plus periarticular infiltration with 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine

All patients will receive postoperative intravenous patient controlled analgesia (IV PCA) morphine for 48 hours.

Data collection

  1. Demographic data
  2. Pain score : preoperative, 3 hours postoperative in the 1st six hours, 12 hours postoperative by visual analog scoring system (VASS)
  3. Patient global assessment and patient satisfactory VASS at 24 and 48 hours postoperative
  4. The amount of morphine at 24 and 48 hours postoperative and the time of the 1st dose
Being tested
Bupivacaine, morphine
Medical subject headings
Femoral Neck Fractures

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Bupivacaine, morphine in people with Femoral Neck Fractures, run by Mahidol 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 8 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Thitima Chinachoti, M.D. (66813082438, sitci35@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?
