Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of lornoxicam compared with that of etoricoxib after total knee replacement.


Clinical Trial Description

Total primary knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a model of severe pain for major orthopedic surgery. The concept of multimodal analgesia for the postoperative pain therapy is a routine in many hospitals but the question is still under debate about the ideal combination between techniques and drugs regarding early mobilization and low risk of complications.

After obtaining Ethical Committee approval and informed consent, 110 patients American Society of Anesthesiologists score (ASA ) I-II undergoing knee replacement under spinal anesthesia were randomized to receive postoperative either lornoxicam (8 mg per os (PO) /12 hours (h) for 48 h) or etoricoxib (120mg PO/24 h for 48 h) both administered in the postoperative care unit, at the end of surgery.

The groups received postoperative analgesia when Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) over 3 with IV Perfalgan in fixed dose 1g every 8 h and morphine (loading dose 0,1mg/kg and titration until NRS under 3, followed by subcutaneous (SC) administration of ½ of the total loading dose on demand for the following 48 h).The lornoxicam group received gastric protection with IV pantoprazole.

The effectiveness was evaluated by the time from the initiation of spinal anesthesia until the first analgesic dose at NRS over 3, the total amount of morphine in the first 24 and 48 h postoperative, the side effects and necessary amount of adjuvant medication. ;
