Trial summary

It has been well known that central sensitization (CS) is a risk factor for inferior outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there are still insufficient studies on the relationship between CS and neuropathic pain (NP), and the effects of CS and NP on the patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Central Sensitization and Neuropathic Pain on Patients Reported Outcomes Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

It has been well known that central sensitization (CS) is a risk factor for inferior outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there are still insufficient studies on the relationship between CS and neuropathic pain (NP), and the effects of CS and NP on the patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of patients who underwent TKA. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between CS and NP and whether CS and NP were associated with PROM in patients undergoing TKA.

Read the detailed description

A total of 312 patients who underwent primary TKA for end stage knee OA were enrolled. CS was defined as a patient with a score of 40 or higher using central sensitization inventory (CSI). NP was defined as a patient with a score of 12 or more using pain detect questionnaire (PDQ). PROMs were also evaluated based on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score preoperatively and at postoperative 1 year. The patients were divided into 4 groups, group 1 with CS and NP positive, group 2 with only CS positive, group 3 with only NP positive, and group 4 with CS and NP negative, and PROM was compared between the groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score

    Western Ontario and McMaster University Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scale is a validated questionnarie for evaluation of patients who underwent knee operation. The questionnaire consists of 24 tiems, with five pain-related categories (score range 0-20), two stiffness categories (score range 0-8), and 17 physical functional categories (score range 0-68). All items were scored on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = none, 1 = slightly, 2 = moderate, 3 = serious, 4 = extreme). Total score range is 0-96. The lower the score, the better the result.

    Measured: 2 years after TKA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neuropathic Pain, run by The Catholic University of Korea 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 3 inclusion and 10 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 19 Oct 2022. 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. 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?

Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score (time frame: 2 years after TKA). 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 19 Oct 2022.
