About this study

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a commonly performed procedure but is known to cause significant postoperative pain. Effective analgesia after rotator cuff repair is crucial in improving the well-being of the patient but also to ensure long-term rehabilitation. The most commonly used analgesic for acute postoperative pain is opioids. However, the use of opioids is accompanied by several side effects which include but are not limited to nausea/vomiting, urinary retention, itching sensation and sometimes dizziness, respiratory depression and hypotension in higher doses. As of late, many efforts are aimed toward decreasing the use of opioids by using multimodal analgesia. Among such methods, intravenous lidocaine has been reported to be effective, safe and economic in various procedures. However, the existing evidence is mostly focused on laparoscopic procedures. The present study aims to find whether perioperative infusion of lidocaine is able to decrease opioid requirements after surgery and also improve postoperative pain compared to placebo in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

What participants receive

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

  • LidocaineDrug

    Drug: 1. Lidocaine Intravenous lidocaine bolus of 1.5mg/kg immediately after anesthesia induction followed by infusion at 2.0mg/kg/hr up to 1 hr after end of surgery.

    1. Fentanyl IV infusion via PCA (patient controlled analgesia) machine of fentanyl 10 μg/ml, ramosetron 0.3 mg, normal saline, total 100 ml, infusion rate 1 ml/hr, 1 ml bolus and lockout time 7 min.
  • Normal salineDrug

    Drug: 1. Normal saline Intravenous normal saline bolus of immediately after anesthesia induction followed by infusion up to 1 hr after end of surgery. Volume of normal saline is equal to lidocaine.

    1. Fentanyl IV infusion via PCA (patient controlled analgesia) machine of fentanyl 10 μg/ml, ramosetron 0.3 mg, normal saline, total 100 ml, infusion rate 1 ml/hr, 1 ml bolus and lockout time 7 min.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lidocaine and Normal saline in people with Rotator Cuff Tears, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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 19 Aug 2019. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Fentanyl requirement using IV PCA (time frame: 24hours 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 NCT04061057, 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 19 Aug 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
