About this study

Official title: Opioid-free Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The primary objective of investigators' proposed study is to demonstrate that the following two cohorts undergoing total hip arthroplasty will have equivalent visual analog scale (VAS) scores up to 3 months post-operatively: one that is administered a modified multimodal analgesic pathway without opioids and the other administered the current standard multimodal analgesic pathway used at Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital (which includes opioids). The secondary objective is to demonstrate that these cohorts will also have equivalent functional outcomes as determined by both objective measures (such as hip range of motion) and patient-reported outcome measures, such as the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score.

Being tested
Exclusion of opioid analgesics

What participants receive

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

  • Exclusion of opioid analgesicsOther

    The intervention involves removing the option of patients having an opioid analgesic at any time point during the perioperative period.

Study groups in NCT04421196
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard multimodal analgesic pathway with opioidsNo interventionThis is the control group, who will receive the current standard multimodal analgesic regimen, which includes opioids following total hip arthroplasty at Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital. The current standard multimodal analgesic regimen utilizes the following medications: Gabapentin 300 mg, Celecoxib 200 mg (Meloxicam if sulfa), Opioid (fentanyl) \& Non-opioid anesthetics (fluranes, propofol, ketamine, etc.); Periarticular injection: 0.25 % bupivacaine with epinephrine and Ketorolac IV; high volume cryotherapy, Ketorolac 30 mg IV, Oxycodone 5-10 mg PO, IV opioids (Morphine, hydromorphone), Acetaminophen 1000 mg PO q6hr
Modified multimodal analgesic pathway without opioidsExperimentalThis is the experimental group, who will receive a modified multimodal analgesic regimen, which excludes the use of any opioids. The modified multimodal analgesic regimen utilizes the following medications: includes the following medications: Gabapentin 300 mg, Celecoxib 200 mg (Meloxicam if sulfa), Non-opioid anesthetics (fluranes, propofol, ketamine, etc.); Periarticular injection: Liposomal bupivacaine, 0.25 % bupivacaine with epinephrine, Betamethasone sodium phosphate, betamethasone acetate and Ketorolac IV; high volume cryotherapy, Ketorolac 30 mg IV, Ketamine IV, Ketorolac 15 mg PO, Acetaminophen 1000 mg PO q6hr
Receives: Other: Exclusion of opioid analgesics

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in post-operative pain assessed by the Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores

    Post-operative pain scores ranging from 0 to 10; 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever felt

    Measured: From immediate post-operative period to 3 months post-operatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in pain satisfaction as assessed by Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)

    A patient-reported measure that assesses components such as assesses patient pain, satisfaction including stiffness and range of motion, activity limitations-daily living, sports and recreation function, and quality of life. Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating the worst possible hip symptoms and 100 indicating no hip symptoms.

    Measured: From pre-operative clinic visit to immediate post-operative period, then to 3 months post-operatively

  2. Change in Physical Activity level as assessed by the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Scale

    The UCLA scale is a patient-reported measure ranging from 1 to 10. Patients indicate their most appropriate activity level, with 1 defined as "no physical activity, dependent on others" and 10 defined as "regular participation in impact sports."

    Measured: From pre-operative clinic visit to immediate post-operative period, and then to 3 months post-operatively
