About this study

Official title: Assessment of Patient Outcomes After Shoulder Surgery After Implementation of a Multimodal Perioperative Management Protocol

This proposal aims to measure the quality of recovery and quality of pain management after shoulder surgery before and after implementation of a multimodal pain protocol.

Read the detailed description

Pain management after shoulder surgery remains to be a major challenge. Reliance on a single agent (most commonly opioids) results in increased incidence of side effects. Multimodal pain management refers to the use of multiple drugs that target different components of pain pathway.

Being tested
multimodal perioperative pain protocol (MP3)
Keywords
multimodal analgesia, quality of recovery, quality of pain management
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. QOR-9

    quality of recovery score using the QOR-9 instrument: it is a 9 item questionnaire with each question scoring from 0,1,2 with a total highest possible score of 18

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. quality of pain management

    quality of pain management was measured using the revised american pain society patient oriented outcome questionnaire (APS-POQ-R). The questionnaire measures quality of pain management in 5 domains: 1- pain intensity 2- pain interference with activity and sleep 3- emotional side effects of uncontrolled pain ( affective scale). 4- patient perception of their pain management 5-side effects of pain treatment some questions answers are on a scale from 0-10. Ten is the maximum score and zero is the minimum score. other questions are listed as percentage with increments of 10% at a time (0%,10%, 20%, 30%..etc). each item/question is reported individually

    Measured: 24 and 48 hours

  2. amount of opioids

    amount of opioids used converted to mg equivalent of oxycodone

    Measured: 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery

  3. QOR-9

    quality of recovery score using the QOR-9 instrument: it is a 9 item questionnaire with each question scoring from 0,1,2 with a total highest possible score of 18

    Measured: at 48 hours and 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Analgesia and Arthroscopy, run by University of Pennsylvania.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 18 Jul 2019. 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?

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?

QOR-9 (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03427775, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Jul 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 3 Nov 2026.
