Periarticular Multimodal Drug Injections in Total Knee Arthroplasty

December 15, 2012 updated by: Tae Kyun Kim, Seoul National University Hospital

Efficacy and Safety of Periarticular Multimodal Drug Injections in Total Knee Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is to determine whether periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI) would provide additional benefits in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for whom contemporary pain control protocols using the continuous femoral nerve block, intra-venous patient controlled analgesia (IV-PCA)and preemptive oral medications. We hypothesized that PMDI would reduce pain level and consumption of PCA and acute pain rescuer and would provide better functional recovery and patient satisfaction. We also hypothesized that the incidence of side effects and complications of the PMDI would be similar to the No-PMDI.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The preemptive multimodal approaches are regarded as a current standard pain management protocol. Recently, periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI) has been considered to be one of the most effective and important component in multimodal approaches. Because the contemporary pain management protocol using the regional anesthesia, continuous femoral nerve block (FNB) and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) has been proved significantly improved analgesic effects itself, little information whether the PMDI would provide additional pain relief under this pain management protocol is available. Also, because the safety of the high dose local anesthetics and narcotics has not been clarified, a selective application should be considered to patients who were expected to show better analgesia if there were certain patient related factors to predict the additional pain relief effect of the PMDI. Thus, this prospective double-blind randomized study was conducted to determine whether PMDI would provide additional benefits in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for whom contemporary pain control protocols using the continuous femoral nerve block, IV-PCA and preemptive oral medications in terms of pain relief, consumption of PCA and acute pain rescuer, patients satisfaction, functional recovery, side effects and complications.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain( Visual Analog Scale )
Time Frame: the night after surgery
An independent investigator who was blinded to randomization assessed pain level using 0 to 10 visual analog scale (VAS) that ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)at the night after operation.
the night after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia(PCA) Consumption During 24 Hours After Surgery
Time Frame: 24 hours postoperative
Fentanyl based PCA consumption via PCA pump (microgram)

Participant Number of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting During 24 Hours After Surgery
Time Frame: 24 hours after surgery
An independent investigator assessed participant number of postoperative nausea and vomiting during 24 hours after surgery. Nausea was defined as a subjective unpleasant sensation associated with awareness of the urge to vomit; and vomiting, as the forceful expulsion of gastric contents from the mouth.
