Injury of Foot, Shoulder or Knee clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Postoperative Patient-controlled Perineural Analgesia After Orthopedic Surgery by "Remote Control" Versus "Bedside Care"

MICREL

Start date: January 14, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Perineural injection of local anesthesic is currently the reference method for the treatment of post operative pain in a patient undergoing major orthopedic surgery. Postoperative pain is a dynamic phenomena in every patient. It is classified as intense during the first postoperative hours after surgery, and decreases in a non-linear manner over the days following the procedure. PCA (patient control analgesia) infusion of local anesthesic allows an adaptation of the local analgesia doses to the evaluated pain scores, as well as permit a decrease in adverse events related to the continuous infusion technique (motor or sensory blockade, paresthesia, etc.). The physician can also modify the pump settings according to the postoperative rehabilitation plan.The use of new communication techniques such as "telemedecine" may be of interest in reducing treatment onset time and optimizing pain management. The remote control consists to change the settings of the pump after if the anesthesiologist was informed in real time (via a smartphone or a tablet) on patient pain level, sensory and motor blockades. The physician goes to a dedicated website (Micrel CareTM). and makes the necessary changes by remote control via a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) connexion. The aim of this prospective, comparative, multicentric trial is to compare the effectiveness of patient management through two communication modalities: remote control versus bedside care.
