What participants receive

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

  • ultrasound-guided short-axis placement of catheter at the entrance of the adductor canalProcedure or surgery

    Ultrasound probe is placed at the entrance of the adductor canal in short axis ,insertion of a PAJUNK Contiplex S catheter with the tip of the catheter located at the entrance of the canal

  • ultrasound-guided long-axis placement of catheter at the middle of the adductor canalProcedure or surgery

    Ultrasound probe is placed at the middle of the adductor canal in long axis with the caphelad end of the probe aligned with the entrance of the canal. insertion of a PAJUNK Contiplex S catheter with the tip of the catheter located at the middle of the canal

What is being measured

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

  1. cumulative sulfentanil consumption at 24 hours after surgery

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. the strength of quadriceps femoris

    Quadriceps strength was assessed on a 0-5 scale as per the Medical Research Council Scale quadriceps motor strength(0 = no voluntary contraction possible, 1 = muscle flicker, but no movement of limb, 2 = active movement only with gravity eliminated, 3 = movement against gravity but without resistance, 4 = movement possible against some resistance and 5 = normal motor strength against resistance)

    Measured: 0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperatively

  2. The pain scores at rest determined by the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0-10)

    11-point numerical rating scale (NRS; 0, no pain; 10, maximum pain imaginable).

    Measured: at 0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperatively

  3. The pain scores on adduction of the keen determined by the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0-10)

    11-point numerical rating scale (NRS; 0, no pain; 10, maximum pain imaginable).

    Measured: at 0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperatively

  4. incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)

    Measured: within 48 hours after surgery

  5. Patient satisfaction with anesthesia

    Patient satisfaction with anesthesia was assessed using a 5-point scale (5, very satisfied; 4, satisfied; 3, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied; 2, dissatisfied; 1, very dissatisfied)

    Measured: within 5th day after surgery

  6. complications

    Record complications including catheter dislodgment, puncture point infection, leakage,falling down,et al.

    Measured: within 3days after surgery

  7. cumulative sulfentanil consumption at other time points after surgery

    Measured: 2,4,8,48 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound-guided short-axis placement of catheter at the entrance of the adductor canal and ultrasound-guided long-axis placement of catheter at the middle of the adductor canal in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty and Analgesia, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 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 2 Jan 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 China. 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.

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?

cumulative sulfentanil consumption at 24 hours after surgery (time frame: 24 hours after surgery). 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 NCT03942133, 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 2 Jan 2020.
