About this study

Official title: Psoas Compartment Block Versus Periarticular Local Anesthetic Infiltration for Pain Management for Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Prospective, Randomized Study

The primary objective of this study is to examine whether there is a difference in the level of resting pain following total hip arthroplasty with an anterior approach with use of a psoas compartment block versus a local periarticular anesthetic infiltration

Read the detailed description

A single-center, prospective, randomized clinical trial with a total of 100 patients. One orthopaedic adult reconstruction surgeon at Beaumont Hospital Royal Oak (JJV) will perform all surgeries. After the patient has consented they will be randomized to one of the following two groups:

  1. Psoas compartment block (n=50)
  2. Periarticular local anesthetic infiltration (n=50),

The patient will be blinded to the study group.

Being tested
Ropivacaine with NaCl, Epinephrine, Morphine, Ketorolac Tromethamine, Ropivacaine
Medical subject headings
Osteoarthritis

What participants receive

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

  • Ropivacaine with NaClDrug

    Also called Naropin with NaCl

    50 mL (40 mL of 0.2% Ropivicaine and 10 mL of 0.9% NaCl) are administered into the psoas compartment

  • EpinephrineDrug

    Also called adrenaline

    0.15 mg Epinephrine are injected as part of the drug "cocktail"

  • MorphineDrug

    4 mg Morphine are injected as part of the drug "cocktail"

  • Ketorolac TromethamineDrug

    Also called Toradol

    30 mg morphine are injected as part of the drug "cocktail"

  • RopivacaineDrug

    Also called Naropin

    30 mL 0.5% Ropivicaine are injected as part of the drug "cocktail"

Study groups in NCT02658149
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Psoas Compartment BlockExperimentalAfter exposure anesthetic (Ropivacaine with NaCl) is introduced directly into the iliopsoas muscle, where it then spreads to the lumbar plexus (the nerves responsible for sensation around the surgical site).
Receives: Drug: Ropivacaine with NaCl
Periarticular Local AnestheticActive comparatorAn anesthetic "cocktail" of four drugs (ropivacaine, epinephrine, ketorolac tromethamine, morphine) is injected at five locations at the surgical site to the surrounding tissues.
Receives: Drug: Epinephrine; Drug: Morphine; Drug: Ketorolac Tromethamine; Drug: Ropivacaine

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain Score at 3 Hours

    Visual Analog Scale 0-10; 0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain

    Measured: 3 hours postoperative

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pain Score at 3-24 Hours

    Visual Analog Scale 0-10; 0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain

    Measured: measured once during time frame 3 hours-24 hours postoperative

  2. Pain Score at 24-48 Hours

    Visual Analog Scale 0-10; 0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain

    Measured: measured once during time froma 24-48 hours postoperative

  3. Opioid Usage In-hospital at 24 Hours

    Total amount of opioids used per patient (measured with Morphine Equivalent Units)

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

  4. Opioid Usage In-hospital at 48 Hours

    Total amount of opioids used per patient (measured with Morphine Equivalent Units)

    Measured: 48 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ropivacaine with NaCl, Epinephrine and Morphine in people with Osteoarthritis and Arthroplasty, run by Corewell Health East 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 13 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 9 May 2018. 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 9 Apr 2018). 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?

Pain Score at 3 Hours (time frame: 3 hours postoperative). 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 May 2018.
