About this study

Official title: Pain Outcomes Following Hip Arthroscopy: A Prospective Randomized Control Study Comparing Fascia Iliaca Blockade vs Extracapsular Local Field Infiltration With Liposomal Bupivacaine

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of fascia iliaca blockade vs local field infiltration with liposomal bupivicaine in controlling pain, narcotic utilization and falls in the postoperative period following hip arthroscopy

Read the detailed description

The purpose the research is to help determine optimal means of post-operative analgesia following hip arthroscopic procedures. Post-operative pain is a significant contributor to patient satisfaction and the side effects of narcotic pain medication are well described. The ideal intervention for achieving appropriate analgesia following hip arthroscopy has not yet been defined. Determining means of achieving acceptable post-operative pain relief while minimizing narcotic usage will help yield maximal patient outcomes.The primary research procedures entailed in this study include fascia iliaca nerve blockade with Marcaine and local field infiltration with liposomal bupivicane (Exparel). The patients in this study will include those who have both a clinical and radiographic diagnosis of femoracetabular impingement (FAI), have failed non operative treatment, and are indicated for hip arthroscopy with labral repair and femoroplasty/acetabuloplasty. The study includes the surgical procedure and the first post-operative follow up visit. The total study duration is approximately 1.5 weeks for each patient. The study will be carried out until the patients first post-operative visit which typically occurs 7-10 days after the procedure. We are to include approximately 40 patients in total for this study over a period of 4 months.

Receives: Procedure: Fascia iliaca blockade

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Analogue Scale

    pain scale Questionnaire 0 equals no pain at all and 10 equals the worst. The out come measure time frame is reported as the average VAS score of the first 4 day post op.

    Measured: post op days 1-4 (Average VAS score of first 4 days of post op)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Narcotic Utilization

    Record of number of narcotic pain pills utilized by patients . This was reported as a total from post op day 1 to 4. The number listed is an average from each patient, from the total pills taken at home.

    Measured: total pill taken over the course of days 1-4 post op.

  2. Total Number of at Home Falls.

    number of falls occurring at home after discharge. This is the total number of falls of all patients in each group, over the first 7 days post op. This is not reported as a mean.

    Measured: Post op days 1-7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing liposomal bupivicaine and Fascia iliaca blockade in people with Femoro Acetabular Impingement, run by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center 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 11 May 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 11 May 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?

Visual Analogue Scale (time frame: post op days 1-4 (Average VAS score of first 4 days of post op)). 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 NCT04114058, 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 11 May 2021.
