About this study

Clinical study, comparative, prospective, interventional, randomized, single-center, single-blind The fast resumption of the walking after surgery of total prosthesis of hip (PTH) requires an effective analgesia from the immediate post-operative period. In France, whatever is the peroperative anesthesia, the analgesic reference technique is a locoregional anesthesia (ALR) ultrasound guidance by blocks of the femoral and cutaneous nerves side of the thigh. In the Anglo-Saxon countries, in particular in Australia and in the United States, the techniques of peroperative infiltration of local anesthetics (IAL) by the surgeon supplanted the techniques of traditional ALR. However, no French study compares the IAL with the conventional ALR with a rigorous methodology. Our occasional practice of IAL suggests us that it is more effective in terms of post-operative analgesia with Analog Visual Scales decreased (EVA) and a lesser consumption of morphine. Furthermore, the resumption of the upright posture in bipedal support as well as the resumption of the walking would be earlier.

The main objective is to show that the post-operative analgesia by local peroperative infiltration is superior to that obtained by locoregional anesthesia (ALR by femoral block associated with a side cutaneous block of the thigh) after the surgery of total prosthesis of hip, with decrease of the consumption of morphine within first 72 post-operative hours.

The secondary objectives are to compare the Analog Visual Scales of pain (EVA) with the rest and with the mobilization during various times (in post-surgery care room, then at H4, H8, H12, H24, H48, H72), the period between the end of intervention (out of the operating room) and the first support by the upright posture in bipedal support), the period between the end of intervention and the resumption of the walk, the satisfaction of the patients at the exit of the hospital, the duration of hospitalization after the surgical operation and the possible unwanted events (systematic toxicity of the local anesthetics, the infection of prosthesis, disease thromboembolic venous) during the hospitalization.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantity of morphine consumed

    Morphine consumption will be measured within the 72 hours following surgery

    Measured: 72 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pain at rest

    Visual analogic pain scale (EVA) will be used to evaluate patient's pain at rest within the 72 hours following surgery

    Measured: 72 hours after surgery

  2. Pain while moving

    Visual analogic pain scale (EVA) will be used to evaluate patient's pain while moving within the 72 hours following surgery

    Measured: 72 hours after surgery

  3. Time between intervention and first support by the upright posture in bipedal station.

    Period between the end of intervention (out of the operating room) and the first support by the upright posture in bipedal station.

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of first documented resumption of walk, assessed up to 20 days after surgery

  4. Time between intervention and resumption of the walk

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of first documented resumption of walk, assessed up to 20 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Locoregional anesthesia and peroperative infiltration of local anesthetics in people with Total Hip Replacement, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 12 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 Aug 2017. 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 France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Quantity of morphine consumed (time frame: 72 hours after surgery). 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 Aug 2017.
