About this study

Official title: Can Using Exparel Decrease the Post Operative Use of Narcotics in Maxillary Orthognathic Surgery?

A prospective, randomized clinical trial to determine if using liposomal bupivicaine in maxillary orthognathic procedures can reduce the post-operative use of opioids as well as improving the patient's quality of life, versus traditional bupivicaine alone.

Read the detailed description

A prospective randomized clinical trial to determine if using liposomal bupivicaine in maxillary orthognathic procedures can reduce the post-operative use of opioids as well as improving the patient's quality of life versus traditional bupivicaine alone. A total of 100 patients who would ordinarily undergo maxillary orthognathic procedures will be randomized into 2 groups. One group will receive 133mg of Exparel (must limit volume of product due to spaces involved and other studies in oral surgery have used 133mg) at the completion of the procedure while the control group receives 50 mg of bupivicaine at the completion of the procedure as is typical standard of care. The injections will be made in similar regions near the incision lines. No other differences will be made between the groups. Perioperative anesthesia will consist of non-opioid techniques, and patients will be monitored post-operatively during a 1 night hospital admission. Patients will complete an anonymous daily diary for 7 days. The diary will consist of information regarding pain scores, quality of life (nausea, swelling, oral function, etc) and medicines taken.

At one week post op the participant will return to the clinic where they will fill out a final questionnaire discussing the previous week's experience regarding the topics of the questionnaires.

What participants receive

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

  • Liposomal bupivacaineDrug

    Also called Exparel

    The primary objective is to examine differences in post-operative opioid consumption between the two groups.

  • BupivacainDrug

    Also called Marcaine, Sensorcaine

    Control group to receive 10cc of 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:50,000 epinephrine at the completion of the procedure per typical standard of care.

  • EpinephrinDrug

    Also called Adrenalin Chloride, Epipen

    Control group to receive 10cc of 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:50,000 epinephrine at the completion of the procedure per typical standard of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences in post-op opioid consumption between local Exparel infiltration and bupivacaine in maxillary orthognathic procedures.

    The primary objective is to examine differences in post-operative opioid consumption between the two groups

    Measured: Daily up to seven days post operative procedure.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Post-operative nausea and vomiting

    Examine the number of times per day the participant experiences nausea and/or vomiting.

    Measured: Daily up to seven days post operative procedure.

  2. Post-operative sleeping quality.

    The Epworth Sleepiness Scale will be used to ascertain the quality of sleep. Eight situations are presented with the participant choosing the following responses:

    No chance of dozing = 0 Slight chance of dozing = 1 Moderate chance of dozing = 2 High chance of dozing = 3

    The higher the combined score the poorer the quality of sleep.

    Measured: Daily up to seven days post operative procedure.

  3. Post operative quality of life.

    Post operative quality of life was ascertained with the 10 point Likert scaled question, "What is your rating for your actual overall comfort?'. 1 = Very low overall comfort, 5 = Neither low or high overall comfort, 10 = Very high overall comfort.

    The higher the score means a better outcome.

    Measured: Daily up to seven days post operative procedure.

  4. Post operative oral function.

    Clinician will assess occlusion and midline symmetry on day of surgery post operative procedure and at one week post operative procedure clinic visit per standard of care with the aid of photographs using a millimeter ruler.

    Measured: Day of surgery and at seventh day post operative procedure.

  5. Post operative swelling.

    Photos comparing cheek and lower jaw swelling with a millimeter ruler taken on day of surgery post operative procedure and one week post operative procedure clinic visit will be made by clinician per standard of care.

    Measured: Day of surgery and on post operative procedure day seven.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Liposomal bupivacaine, Bupivacain and Epinephrin in people with Pain, Postoperative, run by United States Naval Medical Center, San Diego at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 Jul 2024. 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 United States. 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 phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Differences in post-op opioid consumption between local Exparel infiltration and bupivacaine in maxillary orthognathic procedures. (time frame: Daily up to seven days post operative procedure.). 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 Jul 2024.
