Trial summary

This is a prospective, observational study, aimed to establish the relationship between an inefficient endogenous pain modulation before surgery (total knee arthroplasty; TKA) and the probability to develop chronic pain after surgery (persistent post surgical pain). Read more about this study

About this study

This is a prospective, observational study, aimed to establish the relationship between an inefficient endogenous pain modulation before surgery (total knee arthroplasty; TKA) and the probability to develop chronic pain after surgery (persistent post surgical pain). Endogenous analgesia efficiency will be measured during the month previous to surgery using quantitative sensory testing (QST). Persistent post surgical pain will be defined as presence of pain in movement greater than 3 points in a 0-10 numerical scale in the operated knee, 6 months after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Parc de Salut Mar 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 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 31 Mar 2016. 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.

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?

Presence of pain in the operated knee, 6 months after surgery. (time frame: Presence of pain greater than 3 points in a 0-10 numerical scale in the operated knee, 6 months after surgery.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01811888, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Mar 2016.
