Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Postoperative Acupuncture
Neuraxial anesthesia (spinal or combined spinal epidural (CSE) with up to 4cc mepivacaine 1.5%) and 2 blocks for postoperative pain (IPACK and adductor canal peripheral nerve blocks). Sedation will be provided. Tranexemic acid (TXA) will be dosed per surgeon request. A certified medical acupuncturist will perform ipsilateral Auricular Trauma Protocol (ATP) acupuncture at eight ear points (Hypothalamus, Amygdala, Hippocampus, Prefrontal Cortex, Point Zero, Shen Men, Insula, Vagus) with 30Hz electrostimulation at two of those points (Shen Men and Hypothalamus). Acupuncture needles will be left in place and stimulated for 60 min and then removed. If an epidural is placed, it may be redosed with lidocaine as needed (up to 100mg total) and will be removed prior to transfer to the recovery room. A periarticular injection (PAI) will be placed by the surgeon during the surgery (timing at the discretion of the surgeon) |

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Low-dose Opioid Regimen Adherence
Time Frame: postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 30
|
The number of patients who maintain a low-dose opioid regimen (15 pills or less of 5mg oxycodone or 112.5 OME [oral morphine equivalents]) from postoperative day (POD) 0 to POD 30 throughout their Total Knee Replacement.
|
postoperative day 0 to postoperative day 30
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Total Opioid Consumption
Time Frame: post anesthesia care unit (PACU), postoperative day (POD) 1, POD7, POD14, POD30
|
Postoperative opioid consumption measured in oral morphine equivalents (OME) at various timepoints
|
post anesthesia care unit (PACU), postoperative day (POD) 1, POD7, POD14, POD30
|
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Scores at Rest and With Movement
Time Frame: post anesthesia care unit (PACU), postoperative day (POD) 1, POD7, POD14, POD30
|
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores at rest and with movement.
NRS pain is measured from 0 to 10, with 0 being the no pain whatsoever and 10 being the worst pain imaginable.
|
post anesthesia care unit (PACU), postoperative day (POD) 1, POD7, POD14, POD30
|
Duration of Neuraxial Anesthesia in Hours
Time Frame: postoperative day 1
|
postoperative day 1
|
|
Deviation From Prescribed Oral Pain Regimen
Time Frame: Postoperative day 30
|
Tracking the number of patients that received different oral pain main medication, including the need for rescue medications by postoperative day 30
|
Postoperative day 30
|
Number of Participants With Side Effects on POD1 and During the PACU Stay
Time Frame: PACU, Postoperative day 1
|
Incidence of nausea, vomiting, pruritus (itching), and constipation.
These are reported by the patient in the PACU and on postoperative day 1
|
PACU, Postoperative day 1
|
Postoperative Range of Motion
Time Frame: 6 weeks postoperative (surgeon office visit)
|
Postoperative range of motion measured at the 6 week surgeon office visit.
This is being measured by either the physician or their PA and is a score that is achieved by adding extension and flexion together.
It is measured in degrees.
(example: flexion: 118 + extension:1 = score: 119)
|
6 weeks postoperative (surgeon office visit)
|
Tourniquet Time
Time Frame: Intraoperatively
|
Duration of time the tourniquet is inflated intraoperatively.
Measured in minutes
|
