NCT ID: NCT03552913 Recruiting - Surgery Clinical Trials

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery for Total Knee Arthroplasty, Left Colectomy and Hysterectomy

RAAC-AP
Start date: July 6, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The objective of the study is to assess retrospectively the effect of an awareness-raising phase in favour of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery across the Assistance Publique-Hopitaux Paris institution and to explore the determinants of compliance with modalities of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. This multicenter study is performed for three types of surgery: total knee arthroplasty, left colectomy and hysterectomy.

NCT ID: NCT03395444 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Total Knee Arthroplasty

Pulsed Shortwave Therapy Adjunct Pain and Recovery in Total Knee Replacement

Start date: December 15, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical study is designed to assesses the benefit of adding pulsed shortwave therapy to the postoperative pain and recovery protocol following total knee replacement. Pulsed shortwave therapy is a safe adjunct pain therapy for acute and chronic pain.

NCT ID: NCT03256058 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Total Knee Arthroplasty

Tourniquet Application on Total Knee Arthroplasty

Start date: August 20, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized controlled trial designed to research the effects of different tourniquet applications on postoperative pain in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, and to guide early postoperative recovery.

NCT ID: NCT02760043 Recruiting - Osteoarthritis Clinical Trials

Dexamethasone in Total Knee and Total Hip Arthroplasty

Start date: April 2016
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study will evaluate if the addition of dexamethasone to a local infiltration analgesia mixture will improve functional outcomes following total hip and knee arthroplasty.

NCT ID: NCT02284620 Recruiting - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

Continuous Femoral Nerve Block Versus Local-wound Infiltration Analgesia For Patients Receiving Total Knee Arthroplasty --- A Randomized Controlled Trial

Start date: January 2015
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Post-operative pain after total knee arthroplasty is usually severe and impair the functional recovery of operated joints.The purpose of this study is to determine whether post-operative continuous femoral nerve block analgesia is superior to local wound infiltration combined with intravenous patient controlled analgesia in improving joint function and reducing the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP).

NCT ID: NCT02060591 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Total Knee Arthroplasty

Comparison of Two Periarticular Injection Medications for Adjunctive Pain Management Following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)

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

The Investigators aim to study the efficacy of Exparel as compared to Marcaine, taking into account pain control, narcotic consumption, narcotic-related side effects, outcomes measures, and patient satisfaction. Moreover, the Investigators plan to perform cost-benefit analysis to evaluate whether use of Exparel decreases analgesic consumption, duration of hospital stay and the need for physical therapy postoperatively, therefore, offsetting its higher price in comparison with Marcaine.

NCT ID: NCT02026141 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Total Knee Arthroplasty

Can Dexmedetomidine For Procedural Sedation In Knee Arthroplasty Reduce Postoperative Pain? A Randomized Control Study

Start date: December 2013
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Dexmedetomidine has been often used for procedural sedation. It has also has been shown to have a pain sparing effect. Therefore the investigators propose that if Dexmedetomidine is used for sedation in total knee replacements done under spinal anesthetic, the patients will have less pain up to 24 hours after the procedure.

NCT ID: NCT00375362 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Total Knee Arthroplasty

The Analgesic Effect of Nitroglycerin Patch for Postoperative Pain After Total Knee Replacement

Start date: July 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients who undergo general anestheesia for total knee arthroplasty pften have sever postoperative pain which hinders their rehabilitation. Nitroglycerin patches have been found to cause alleviation of pain especially when used in conjuction with morphine. Therefore we propose placement of a nitroglycerin patch after total kneee arthroplasty surgery and see how it affects pain scores or causes less nedd for morphine after surgery.

NCT ID: NCT00224913 Recruiting - Osteoarthritis Clinical Trials

Electrical Stimulation After Total Knee Arthroplasty

Start date: March 2002
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is performed more than 300,000 times a year in the United States, most often for osteoarthritis (OA). While pain is predictably reduced, function does not typically ever reach that of age-matched, uninjured subjects. Quadriceps weakness has been implicated in the development and progression of knee OA and is a significant problem after TKA. Voluntary exercise has been ineffective at restoring quadriceps strength after TKA. The aims of this study are: 1) to assess the effectiveness of high-level neuromuscular electrical stimulation as an adjunct to ongoing intensive, early rehabilitation in restoring quadriceps strength and improving the functional outcome after primary TKA, and 2) to identify the physiological and morphological bases for improvements in quadriceps strength and functional outcome.
