Opioid-free Total Hip Arthroplasty

September 19, 2022 updated by: Johns Hopkins University

Opioid-free Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The primary objective of investigators' proposed study is to demonstrate that the following two cohorts undergoing total hip arthroplasty will have equivalent visual analog scale (VAS) scores up to 3 months post-operatively: one that is administered a modified multimodal analgesic pathway without opioids and the other administered the current standard multimodal analgesic pathway used at Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital (which includes opioids). The secondary objective is to demonstrate that these cohorts will also have equivalent functional outcomes as determined by both objective measures (such as hip range of motion) and patient-reported outcome measures, such as the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
NO_INTERVENTION: Standard multimodal analgesic pathway with opioids

This is the control group, who will receive the current standard multimodal analgesic regimen, which includes opioids following total hip arthroplasty at Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital.

The current standard multimodal analgesic regimen utilizes the following medications: Gabapentin 300 mg, Celecoxib 200 mg (Meloxicam if sulfa), Opioid (fentanyl) & Non-opioid anesthetics (fluranes, propofol, ketamine, etc.); Periarticular injection: 0.25 % bupivacaine with epinephrine and Ketorolac IV; high volume cryotherapy, Ketorolac 30 mg IV, Oxycodone 5-10 mg PO, IV opioids (Morphine, hydromorphone), Acetaminophen 1000 mg PO q6hr
EXPERIMENTAL: Modified multimodal analgesic pathway without opioids

This is the experimental group, who will receive a modified multimodal analgesic regimen, which excludes the use of any opioids.

The modified multimodal analgesic regimen utilizes the following medications:

includes the following medications: Gabapentin 300 mg, Celecoxib 200 mg (Meloxicam if sulfa), Non-opioid anesthetics (fluranes, propofol, ketamine, etc.); Periarticular injection: Liposomal bupivacaine, 0.25 % bupivacaine with epinephrine, Betamethasone sodium phosphate, betamethasone acetate and Ketorolac IV; high volume cryotherapy, Ketorolac 30 mg IV, Ketamine IV, Ketorolac 15 mg PO, Acetaminophen 1000 mg PO q6hr
Other: Exclusion of opioid analgesics
The intervention involves removing the option of patients having an opioid analgesic at any time point during the perioperative period.

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
Change in post-operative pain assessed by the Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores
Time Frame: From immediate post-operative period to 3 months post-operatively
Post-operative pain scores ranging from 0 to 10; 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever felt
From immediate post-operative period to 3 months post-operatively

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
Change in pain satisfaction as assessed by Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)
Time Frame: From pre-operative clinic visit to immediate post-operative period, then to 3 months post-operatively
A patient-reported measure that assesses components such as assesses patient pain, satisfaction including stiffness and range of motion, activity limitations-daily living, sports and recreation function, and quality of life. Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating the worst possible hip symptoms and 100 indicating no hip symptoms.
From pre-operative clinic visit to immediate post-operative period, then to 3 months post-operatively
Change in Physical Activity level as assessed by the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Scale
Time Frame: From pre-operative clinic visit to immediate post-operative period, and then to 3 months post-operatively
The UCLA scale is a patient-reported measure ranging from 1 to 10. Patients indicate their most appropriate activity level, with 1 defined as "no physical activity, dependent on others" and 10 defined as "regular participation in impact sports."
From pre-operative clinic visit to immediate post-operative period, and then to 3 months post-operatively
