Trial summary

Dexmedetomidine is often used for sedation procedures. It has also been shown to have a pain-protective effect. Researchers predicted that using dexmedetomidine for sedation in total knee arthroplasties performed under spinal anesthesia would reduce the frequency of rebound pain and pain scores.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Sedation on Rebound Pain in Knee Arthrplasty Performed Under Spinal Anesthesia

Dexmedetomidine is often used for sedation procedures. It has also been shown to have a pain-protective effect. Researchers predicted that using dexmedetomidine for sedation in total knee arthroplasties performed under spinal anesthesia would reduce the frequency of rebound pain and pain scores.

Read the detailed description

Randomization will take place before the patient enters the operating room. After spinal anesthesia is applied, 0.4 mcg/kg sedadomide loading will be done for 10 minutes in the sedation group, and then 0.4 mcg/kg/h sedadomide infusion will continue until the end of the surgery. Patients selected for the control group will be given the same amounts of saline. At the end of the surgical procedure, saline and sedadomide infusions will be stopped. All patients will undergo an adductor canal block under USG guidance in the recovery room. 50 mg of buvacin will be given to the block area. Patients will be fitted with a patient control analgesia device, which only provides bolus application and provides 20 mg of madol in each bolus. Postoperatively, sudden onset severe withdrawal pain outside the normal course of pain starting within 48 hours will be followed and Vas-bromage monitoring will be done at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 hours.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DexmedetomidineExperimentalPatients will receive the standardized pre-op meds and spinal anesthetic. Once the patient's spinal is performed, patient will receive the following: Start with bolus of 0.4 microgram/kg over 10 minutes, and then infusion of 0.4 microgram/kg/hr infusion will be stopped after the last staple or suture is performed on the incision. Interventions: Drug: Dexmedetomidine
Receives: Drug: Dexmedetomidine
SalinePlacebo comparatorPatients will receive the standardized pre-op meds and spinal anesthetic. Once the spinal anesthetic is performed,patient will receive the same infusion rates as in the Dexmedetomidine arm, however with Normal Saline as a Placebo. Interventions: Drug: Normal Saline
Receives: Drug: Saline

What is being measured

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

  1. Rebound pain VAS scores and incidence of rebound pain

    Rebound pain-defined as transient acute postoperative pain within 12-24hrs that ensues following resolution of sensory blocked.

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidine and Saline in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty and Sedation, run by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 8 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 Aug 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Rebound pain VAS scores and incidence of rebound pain (time frame: 48 hours after surgery). 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 Aug 2024.
