What is being measured

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

  1. Amount of Narcotic Use

    Total morphine milligram equivalence dosing of all narcotic pain medications administered between the surgery and the third post-operative day.

    Measured: Surgery to post operative day 3

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Visual Analog Scale of Pain (0-10)

    Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of pain (0-10); with 10 indicating the greatest amount of pain. Post anesthesia care unit admission, post anesthesia care unit discharge, day of surgery, post operative day 1, post operative day 2, post operative day 3

    Measured: Post anesthesia care unit admission to post operative day 3

  2. Anti-emetic Use

    Anti-emetic use (as a binary yes/no) between the admission in the post anesthesia care unit through hospital discharge (i.e. if a patient took an anti-emetic at any point duration the time frame the patient was a yes; if the patient did not take an anti-emetic during the time frame the patient was a no).

    Measured: After surgery through discharge from hospital, usually 72 hours after surgery (on post operative day 3)

  3. Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Regarding Post Surgical Pain Relief

    Measured at hospital discharge (on post operative day 3). Measured on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the most satisfaction

    Measured: Measured at hospital discharge (on post operative day 3)

  4. Number of Patients With Post-operative Complications

    Any complications occurring between the day of surgery and the first scheduled appointment at our clinic after the surgery.

    Measured: After surgery to the first scheduled clinic visit, usually 14 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Exparel in people with Ankle Arthrodesis and Hindfoot Arthrodesis, run by OrthoCarolina Research Institute, Inc. at 1 site 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 3 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 29 Oct 2020. 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 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Oct 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Amount of Narcotic Use (time frame: Surgery to post operative day 3). 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 29 Oct 2020.
