  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • ASA PS 1 to 3 undergoing total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia

Who cannot join

  • Patients were excluded from this study if they had contraindications to a regional anesthetic technique (e. g., local infection, sepsis, coagulation abnormality), allergy to local anesthetic or fentanyl, preexisting neurologic deficit in the lower extremities, and inability to comprehend the pain scales or use IV patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device.

About this study

The postoperative analgesic effect of the continuous 3-in-1 femoral nerve block (FNB) with ropivacaine/fentanyl or with ropivacaine were compared in total knee arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

Forty patients of American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status Ⅰor Ⅱ undergoing total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia would be enrolled and randomly divided into two groups (R, "3-in-1" using a 30 ml of ropivacaine 0.375% and a continuous 3-in-1 with a ropivacaine 0.2%(8mL/h) for 48 h after operation, RF: Fifty ug of fentanyl will be added to a bolus(30ml ropivacaine 0.375%) and 1ug/ml of fentanyl will be mixed to a continuous infusion(8mg/h, ropivacaine 0.2%). Spinal anesthesia will be done after the insertion of femoral catheter. IV PCA with hydromorphone(0.15mg/ml, 0-1-10), will be used for rescue analgesics. Visual analgesia scale, hydromorphone consumption, side effects until 48h after operation and satisfaction will be compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain on the VAS(Visual Analog Scale)

    Measured: During 48 hour after operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participant with side effects

    Measured: During 48 hour after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Femoral nerve block with ropivacaine+fentanyl and Femoral nerve block with ropivacaine in people with Pain, run by National Medical Center, Seoul.

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 1 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 14 Sep 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 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 on the VAS(Visual Analog Scale) (time frame: During 48 hour after operation). 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 14 Sep 2016.
