About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label Study Comparing Postsurgical Analgesia Using EXPAREL® To Standard Of Care For The Full Arch Surgical Therapy (FAST) Dental Implant Surgery Procedure

This study is researching managing postsurgical pain by injecting both short-acting local anesthetics and EXPAREL® at the time of surgery and reviewing if it could reduce or eliminate the need for postsurgical opioids and improve clinical outcomes following the FAST dental implant surgery procedure. This approach is being compared to the current standard of care.

Read the detailed description

Postsurgical pain following the Full Arch Surgical Therapy (FAST) dental implant surgery procedure is commonly managed with a variety of interventions, including local infiltration with short-acting local anesthetics during surgery and the use of postsurgical opioid and non-opioid analgesics. Although this approach to managing postsurgical pain is considered the current standard of care, its reliance on opioid analgesics to provide analgesia beyond the duration of short-acting local anesthetics exposes patients to opioid-related adverse events (ORAEs) that may delay their recovery and have other deleterious clinical consequences. The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of local infiltration of EXPAREL for the FAST dental implant surgery procedure compared to standard of care.

What participants receive

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

  • EXPAREL and Local AnestheticsProcedure or surgery

    Patients will receive EXPAREL and local anesthetics, as well as opioid and non-opioid analgesics prescription, (only use if needed, for post surgical pain)

  • Oral Opioid and Local AnestheticsProcedure or surgery

    Patients will receive local anesthetics, as well as oral opioid or non-opioid analgesics, (only use if needed, for post surgical pain)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EXPAREL and Local Anesthetics and Oral Opioid and Local Anesthetics in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Bellaire Facial Surgery Center at 3 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 13 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

Postsurgical Pain Severity (time frame: 7 days). 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 13 Apr 2016.
