About this study
Official title: Liposomal Bupivacaine Interscalene Nerve Block in Shoulder Arthroplasty: A Single Blinded Prospective Randomized Control Trial
The objective of this study is to determine if peripheral nerve block with liposomal bupivacaine in combination with standard bupivacaine will prolong the duration of block, improve pain scores, and decrease opioid utilization in the post-operative period when compared to peripheral nerve block with standard bupivacaine alone.
Read the detailed description
This is a prospective, single-blinded randomized clinical trial comparing outcomes in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (anatomic and reverse) who receive a peripheral nerve block with liposomal bupivacaine in combination with standard bupivacaine versus standard bupivacaine alone. Once consent is obtained, baseline characteristics will be recorded and patients will be randomized to intervention or control. Following surgery, patients will be followed until their 3-week post-operative visit. The primary outcome measure will be the mean difference in patient pain scores over the first 72 hours post-operatively between two groups. Secondary outcomes will include: (1) Total opioid consumption (as measured utilizing morphine intravenous equivalents) in first 72 hours and at 3 weeks (2) Patient perceived duration of block determined as the time patient perceives complete resolution of block (3) Patient satisfaction with pain control at 72 hours, 3 weeks post-operatively and patient reported outcome measures (SANE, SST, ASES, VR-12) at 3 weeks post-operatively.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Patient Pain Scores
Patient pain scores over the first 72 hours post-operatively as measured by the Visual Analogue Scale where Zero represents no pain and ten represents severe pain.
Measured: 72 hours post-operatively
Secondary outcomes (3)
Opioid Consumption
Total opioid consumption as measured by morphine milligram equivalent (MME) in first 72 hours and at 3 weeks
Measured: Measured at 72 hours and at 3 weeks post-operatively
Time to Cessation of Nerve Blockade
Measured by the number of subjects who reported cessation of nerve blockade as the first reported postoperative pain score of 3 or greater at the surgical site.
Measured: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 hours post-operatively
Satisfaction With Pain Control Using Satisfaction Scale
Patient satisfaction with pain control at 72 hours post-operatively and three weeks post operatively using Patient Satisfaction with Pain Management Pain Scale where Zero represents unsatisfactory pain management and ten represents perfect pain management.
Measured: Measured at 72 hours and at three weeks post-operatively

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Liposomal Bupivacaine and Bupivacaine Hydrochloride in people with Arthropathy Shoulder, run by Mayo Clinic 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 21 Feb 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 21 Feb 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 Pain Scores (time frame: 72 hours post-operatively). 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 21 Feb 2021.
