Trial summary

Adequate pain management has an important role in supporting early ambulation after the Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Multimodal analgesia is one of the modalities of overcoming postoperative pain. The use of combination Paracetamol and Ibuprofen injection is expected to reduce total morphine consumption after TKA. Read more about this study

What is being measured

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

  1. Total morphine requirement

    morphine requirement in patient after total knee arthroplasty procedure

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Numerical rating scale of pain in resting phase, walking phase, knee full flexion phase

    amount of pain measure by numerical rating scale. Patients rate their pain from 0 to 10, Zero represents "no pain," whereas 10 represents the opposite end of the pain continuum (e.g., "the most intense pain imaginable," "pain as intense as it could be," "maximum pain")

    Measured: 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours

  2. range of motion knee in flexion and extension

    range of motion knee in flexion and extension

    Measured: 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours

  3. 2MWT after total knee arthroplasty procedure

    amount of walking length in 2 minutes

    Measured: 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Paracetamol injection and Ibuprofen injection, Paracetamol injection and normal saline and Ibuprofen Injection and normal saline in people with Analgesia, run by Universitas Indonesia at 2 sites in Indonesia.

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 22 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Indonesia. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Total morphine requirement (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT04414995, which also lists 17 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 22 Dec 2020.
