About this study

The purpose of this proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal approach to analgesia for patient's pain after hip arthroscopy and to also assess if this new approach will result in a reduction in post-operative narcotic use.

This study is a single-center, randomized prospective study comparing post-operative pain scores and narcotic consumption between individuals receiving acetaminophen along with a reduced quantity of Percocet (to be used as needed for breakthrough pain) and individuals receiving Percocet only. Both pain management options are considered to be standard of care. Both cohorts will receive aspirin for DVT prophylaxis and celecoxib for heterotopic ossification prophylaxis.

The primary objective of the study are to compare patients' narcotic consumption and reported pain following arthroscopic hip surgery, and determine if acetaminophen can provide adequate pain relief compared to a narcotic medication.

Conditions
Hip Arthroscopy
Being tested
Acetaminophen, Percocet

What participants receive

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

  • AcetaminophenDrug

    acetaminophen 600 mg to be taken every 8 hours (TID)

  • PercocetDrug

    Oxycodone/acetaminophen (Percocet) 5 mg/325 mg as needed for breakthrough pain for patients in Percocet+ Acetaminophen group.

    Percocet Group will receive standard of care Percocet 5 mg/325 mg every 6 hours PRN

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient Satisfaction

    Satisfaction was reported on a Likert-type scale of 1-10 (the higher the score, the higher the satisfaction)

    Measured: 7 days post-surgery

  2. Morphine-equivalent Consumption

    Amount of oxycodone/acetaminophen (Percocet) in 5mg/325mg doses will be recorded in number of pills

    Measured: 7 days post-surgery

  3. Score on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of Pain

    Pain severity scores at rest will be assessed by use of VAS. The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain." The higher the score, the worse the pain.

    Measured: 24 hours post-surgery

  4. Score on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of Pain

    Pain severity scores at rest will be assessed by use of VAS. The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain." The higher the score, the worse the pain.

    Measured: 4 days post-surgery

  5. Score on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of Pain

    Pain severity scores at rest will be assessed by use of VAS. The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain." The higher the score, the worse the pain.

    Measured: 7 days post-surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Acetaminophen and Percocet in people with Hip Arthroscopy, run by NYU Langone Health 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 7 Jan 2021. 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 7 Jan 2021). 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?

Patient Satisfaction (time frame: 7 days post-surgery). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jan 2021.
