About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Analgesic Effect of Femoral Nerve Block, Intraarticular Infiltration or a Combination of Both in the Control of Pain in Total Knee Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effectiveness of three techniques: the femoral nerve block, intraarticular infiltration or a combination of both in the control of pain in total knee arthroplasty (KA). The hypothesis to be tested in this study is that the performance multimodal postoperative pain KA combining two analgesic techniques to obtain better analgesia than when applied separately.

What participants receive

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

  • several drugs: morphine chloride,ropivacaine,epinephrine,ketorolacDrug

    This technique is performed intraoperatively with a 100 ml solution containing: 225 mg of ropivacaine 1% (22.5 ml) + 5 mg of morphine chloride 0.1% (5ml) + 30 mg of epinephrine 1:1000 (0.3 ml ) + ketorolac 30mg (1ml) +71 ml of 0.9% saline

  • ropivacaine,morphine chloride,epinephrine,ketorolacDrug

    This technique is performed intraoperatively with a 100 ml solution containing: 225 mg of ropivacaine 1% (22.5 ml) + 5 mg of morphine chloride 0.1% (5ml) + 30 mg of epinephrine 1:1000 (0.3 ml ) + ketorolac 30mg (1ml) +71 ml of 0.9% saline

  • ropivacaineDrug

    The lock is held before starting the operation, viewing with ultrasound and confirmed the femoral nerve with nerve stimulation at an intensity of 0.5 mA and a frequency of 2 Hz Pajunk 50mm needle, patellar flexion. It be administered 30ml of ropivacaine 0.75% (225mg)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing several drugs: morphine chloride,ropivacaine,epinephrine,ketorolac, ropivacaine,morphine chloride,epinephrine,ketorolac and ropivacaine in people with Pain, run by Jose Antonio Bernia Gil at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 28 Aug 2014. 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 Spain. 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.

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?

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 (time frame: 48 hours postoperatively). 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 28 Aug 2014.
