About this study

Official title: The Effect of Postoperative Single-injection Adductor Canal Block for Multimodal Pain Control in Patients Receiving Total Knee Arthroplasty Under Spinal Anesthesia

This study evaluates the effect of the single-injection adductor canal block in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to evaluate the effect of the single-injection adductor canal block in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. The effect of the single-injection adductor canal and continuous adductor canal block in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia has been well established. However, due to the residual effect of spinal anesthesia, the effect of the single-injection adductor canal block needs to be determined. The investigators hypothesize that the single-injection adductor canal block will decrease the total sum of 2h, 6h, 12h, and 24h pain score.

adductor canal block, control group

What participants receive

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

  • adductor canal blockProcedure or surgery

    After the end of the surgery, at the arrival of PACU, the patient's leg is prepared and draped in a sterile manner. Assisted by the high-frequency linear ultrasound transducer, we target the mid-thigh level and the 22-gauge/8cm needle is introduced in plain through the sartorius muscle. the correct position for the tip of the needle in the adductor canal is checked and a bolus injection of 0.5% ropivacaine 15ml is given.

  • control groupProcedure or surgery

    After the end of the surgery, at the arrival of PACU, the patient's leg is prepared and draped in a sterile manner. Assisted by the high-frequency linear ultrasound transducer, we target the mid-thigh level and the 22-gauge/8cm needle is introduced in plain through the sartorius muscle. the correct position for the tip of the needle in the adductor canal is checked and a bolus injection of normal saline15ml is given.

What is being measured

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

  1. the sum of pain score

    VAS pain score (0 to 10) is measured using numeric pain rating scale at 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours 0: no pain, 10: worst pain

    Measured: 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after intervention

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    degree of postoperative nausea and vomiting (0 to 3) 0: no nausea, no vomiting, 1: nausea present, but no vomiting, 2: nausea present, vomiting once, 3: vomiting repeatedly within 30 minutes.

    Measured: 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after intervention

  2. Postoperative opioid consumption

    amount of postoperative opioid consumption based on oral morphine equivalent daily dose

    Measured: 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing adductor canal block in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 7 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 24 Nov 2023. 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?

the sum of pain score (time frame: 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours after intervention). 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 24 Nov 2023.
