Trial summary

A randomized double-blind clinical trial was performed. There were 4 groups according to catheter placement and infusion constituents: 1) Intraarticular catheter + anesthetics; 2) Intraarticular catheter +placebo; 3) Subfascial catheter + anesthetics; 4) Subfascial catheter + placebo.

About this study

A randomized double-blind clinical trial was performed. There were 4 groups according to catheter placement and infusion constituents: 1) Intraarticular catheter + anesthetics; 2) Intraarticular catheter +placebo; 3) Subfascial catheter + anesthetics; 4) Subfascial catheter + placebo. The anesthetics infusion contained bupivacaine (bolus + continuous perfusion up to 36 hours). The placebo solution consisted in physiological serum (bolus + continuous perfusion up to 36 hours). Randomization was performed in the hospital pharmacy and the surgeon kept out the surgical field when the resident placed the catheter. The same conventional analgesic schedule was prescribed to all patients: PCA (patient controlled analgesia) + paracetamol 1g/6h + dexketoprofen 50mg/12h. The pain was evaluated by means of PCA (patient controlled analgesia) shots and the VAS (visual analog scale). Side effects, time to start rehabilitation and time to discharge were also analyzed. A statistical analysis was performed to compare all this variables between the 4 groups (SPSS 18.0).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Bupivacaine hydrochloride and Physiological Saline in people with Musculoskeletal Pain and Hip Injuries, 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 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 12 Oct 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

Change in pain measured with a visual analog scale (time frame: 36 hours). 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 12 Oct 2016.
