About this study

Official title: Study on the Post-operative Effect of Applying Drainage on Total Knee Arthroplasty

This multicenter clinical trial aims to investigate the exact effect of drainage use for osteoarthritis patients in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on post-operative performance.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter,open-label randomized controlled trail. A total of 100 participants will receive same perioperative treatment schedule, and all surgeries will be carried out by the same surgeon. Among all the participants, 50 patients will be randomly assigned to the experiment group in which a drainage will be applied during the surgery, while another 50 patients will be randomly assigned to the control group without a drainage application in the surgery.Data on perioperative bleeding volume, swelling of lower extremities, pain score will be collected and analysed.

Being tested
drainage, non-drainage
Medical subject headings
Osteoarthritis, Knee

What participants receive

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

  • drainageProcedure or surgery

    Applying a drain tube during TKA procedure

  • non-drainageProcedure or surgery

    No drain tube will be applied during TKA procedure

What is being measured

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

  1. The change of bleeding volume in perioperative period

    The difference between baseline Hct collected before operation and Hct collected one week after operation

    Measured: before operation and one week after operation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Swelling of the lower extremities

    perimeter of lower extremities before and after operation

    Measured: one week after operation

  2. Range of motion

    Range of motion of the knee received operation

    Measured: one week after operation

  3. Pain

    Use the Visual Analogue Scale to estimate the pain and its score ranges from 0 to 10. The higher the score is, the more severe pain the patient is feeling.

    Measured: one week after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing drainage and non-drainage in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Peking University People's Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chutong Lin (+86 15652930253, chutonglin@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change of bleeding volume in perioperative period (time frame: before operation and one week after operation). 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 7 Dec 2017.
