About this study

Official title: Ultrasound-guided Continuous Proximal Adductor Canal Versus Continuous Femoral Nerve Block for Postoperative Pain Control and Rehabilitation Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

The purpose of the study is to compare continuous femoral nerve block with continuous proximal adductor canal block for postoperative pain control and rehabilitation.

Read the detailed description

Patients meeting the criteria: American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I and II, that are scheduled for elective total knee arthroplasty, will be recruited into the study. Subjects will be randomized into 2 groups: those who will receive a continuous proximal adductor canal block (ACB) and those who will receive a continuous femoral nerve block (FNB).

Being tested
Continuous proximal adductor canal block, Continuous femoral nerve block
Keywords
a continuous proximal adductor canal block (ACB), continuous femoral nerve block (FNB)

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Motor effects

    Subjects' change in motor effects will be assessed as maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) in the quadriceps muscle.

    Measured: 24 hours (postoperatively)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Pain score

    Subjects' pain will be assessed using a numerical pain score, where 10 is the greatest amount of pain.

    Measured: On average between 6 and 8 hours postoperatively

  2. Pain score

    Subjects' pain will be assessed using a numerical pain score, where 10 is the greatest amount of pain.

    Measured: 24 hours (postoperatively)

  3. Opioid consumption

    Subjects' pain will be assessed by tracking opioid consumption postoperatively.

    Measured: On average between 6 and 8 hours postoperatively

  4. Opioid consumption

    Subjects' pain will be assessed by tracking opioid consumption postoperatively.

    Measured: 24 hours (postoperatively)

  5. Motor effects

    Subjects' change in motor effects will be assessed as maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) in the quadriceps muscle.

    Measured: On average between 6 and 8 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous proximal adductor canal block and Continuous femoral nerve block in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty, run by Yale University.

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 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Motor effects (time frame: 24 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 9 Dec 2016.
