Trial summary

Total knee arthroplasty(TKA) is an effective modality for the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis of the knee joint with excellent outcomes. With 719,000 cases being performed as of 2010, the incidence is expected to increase up to 3.48 million procedures annually by 2030. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Ipack Block and Periarticular Infiltration in Total Knee Arthroplasty - a Randomized Control Trial

Total knee arthroplasty(TKA) is an effective modality for the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis of the knee joint with excellent outcomes. With 719,000 cases being performed as of 2010, the incidence is expected to increase up to 3.48 million procedures annually by 2030.

Read the detailed description

There have been several studies regarding efficacy of peri articular infiltration. IPACK block is a novel technique gaining popularity where one injects local anesthesia safely under ultrasound guidance in the interspace between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee.

There have been no studies till date comparing the efficacy between IPACK block and Periarticular Infiltration (PAI).

Being tested
Ipack, Bupivacaine, Peri Articular Infiltration
Keywords
Total knee arthroplasty, Peri articular infiltration, Pack block, Adductor canal catheter

What participants receive

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

  • IpackDevice

    IPACK block - local anesthesia injected safely under ultrasound guidance in the interspace between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee.

  • BupivacaineDrug

    20 cc of bupivacaine(o.25%) injection

  • Peri Articular InfiltrationProcedure or surgery

    Also called PAI

    Adductor Canal Catheter and Peri Articular Infiltration

What is being measured

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

  1. Narcotic Consumption

    Narcotic consumption in the first 24 hours

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Visual Analogue Score (VAS) for Pain

    Visual Analogue Score (VAS) for pain - scored from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain), that is, higher score indicates more pain.

    Measured: at 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours post procedure

  2. Time to First Dose of Narcotic Administration

    Measured: up to 24 hours

  3. PACU Length of Stay

    Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) length of stay (LOS)

    Measured: average 24 hours

  4. Number of Participants With Pain by Location

    Location of knee pain as anterior/posterior, medial/lateral

    Measured: 24 hours

  5. Ambulation Distance

    Ambulation distance with assistance on Post-operative Day (POD) 1 as assessed by PT

    Measured: Post-op Day 1

  6. Bartels Index

    Bartels Index to measure activities of daily living (ADL's) on POD 1 as assessed by OT. Total possible scores range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating more independence.

    Measured: Post-op Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ipack, Bupivacaine and Peri Articular Infiltration in people with Osteo Arthritis Knee, run by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai 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 9 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 3 Nov 2020. 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 3 Nov 2020). 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?

Narcotic Consumption (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 NCT03653416, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 3 Nov 2020.
