Trial summary

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a commonly used treatment for hip lesions, but it is often accompanied by persistent pain after surgery, which obviously affects the quality of life of patients, so perfect postoperative analgesia is particularly important for the rapid recovery of patients.

About this study

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a commonly used treatment for hip lesions, but it is often accompanied by persistent pain after surgery, which obviously affects the quality of life of patients, so perfect postoperative analgesia is particularly important for the rapid recovery of patients. Peripheral nerve blocks are often used as postoperative analgesia for THA, and fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is the preferred nerve block for THA due to its good postoperative analgesic effect and fewer postoperative adverse reactions. However, the effect of nerve block with ropivacaine alone is short, and the postoperative analgesia time is limited, which seriously affects the patient\'s surgical recovery. Therefore, prolonging the postoperative analgesic time is an urgent problem to be solved by FICB, and some scholars recommend the combined use of local anesthetic adjuvants to prolong the block time, which is an effective and safe method. In this study, a long-acting analgesic drug, methylene blue, was selected as an adjuvant for ropivacaine for FICB, but there was no unified clinical standard for the postoperative analgesic concentration of methylene blue.

What is being measured

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

  1. visual analogue scale(VAS)

    Use a swimming ruler about 10 cm long, marked with 10 ticks on one side, and "0" and "10" at each end. A score of 0 indicates no pain, a score of 10 indicates the most severe pain that is unbearable, and the higher the score, the greater the degree of pain

    Measured: The first, third, and seventh days after the surgery

  2. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    An examination tool to assess cognitive status

    Measured: Seventh day after surgery

  3. Harris Hip Scoring System

    Harris (1969) proposed a scoring system to evaluate the functional status and postoperative efficacy of patients with artificial hip arthroplasty

    Measured: On the seventh day after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of postoperative salvage analgesia

    Measured: From the end of the surgery to the seventh day after the surgery

  2. Walking distance for the first time getting out of bed

    Measured: From the end of the surgery to the seventh day after the surgery

  3. Number of exercises to get out of bed within 7 days of surgery

    Measured: From the end of the surgery to the seventh day after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ropivacaine combined with methylene blue for iliac fascia block in people with Femoral Neck Disease, run by Wang wanxia at 1 site in China.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 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 China. 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?

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?

visual analogue scale(VAS) (time frame: The first, third, and seventh days after the surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Jul 2024.
