About this study

Official title: Risk Factors for Postoperative Pain After Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

In 2006, approximately 130,000 arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions were performed in the United States, and the number is increasing each year. Despite being a minimally invasive procedure, pain is the most common postoperative problem after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction associated with cost, postoperative opioid consumption, opioid-related side effects, quality of life, patient satisfaction, and delayed discharge. Over two-thirds of the patient receiving arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament surgery have moderate to severe pain.

Read the detailed description

At present, multimodal analgesia is a successful mainstay treatment for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament surgery which range from opioid, paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), local anesthetic agents, ketamine, corticosteroid, and cold compression therapy. Previous study showed femoral nerve block reduces pain score but also increases incidence of falling. Afterward, a study on adductor canal block showed equivalent postoperative analgesia while preserving quadriceps strength. Furthermore, a few studies were conducted to determine risk factors for postoperative pain after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament surgery, but results are contradictory. Previous research found risk factors for postoperative pain after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament surgery are female, young age, smoker, preoperative visual analog scale score ≥3, tourniquet time > 50 minutes, and cartilage injury. In addition, evidence showed higher preoperative visual analog scale, and previous opioid use are associated with greater amount of opioid consumption. In contrary, some evidence showed no effect of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), tourniquet time, type of anesthesia on post postoperative pain after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Risk Factors for Post ACL Reconstruction Pain, run by Prince of Songkla University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To find risk factors for moderate to severe postoperative pain after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in the first 72 hours. (time frame: Three days). 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 9 Sep 2022.
