Brief Summary:
The objective of this phase 2 study is to investigate the efficacy of Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEX) plus Methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) in combination with plain bupivacaine (B) compared with Liposomal Bupivacaine (LB) in combination with plain bupivacaine on post-surgical pain control among patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to asses if perineural B-DEX-MPA will result in superior analgesia efficacy as compared to B-LB.
This study will also assess if perineural B-DEX-MPA results in improved quality of postoperative recovery as compared to B-LB.
Detailed Description:
This phase 2, double blinded and randomized clinical trial will investigate the efficacy of Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEX) plus Methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) in combination with plain bupivacaine (B) compared with Liposomal Bupivacaine (LB) in combination with plain bupivacaine on post-surgical pain control among patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
The primary objective of this phase 2 study is to investigate the efficacy of Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEX) plus Methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) in combination with plain bupivacaine (B) compared with Liposomal Bupivacaine (LB) in combination with plain bupivacaine on post-surgical pain control among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The secondary objective of this study is to test the effects of perineural use of B-DEX-MPA vs B-LB on the quality of postoperative recovery as well as surgical outcome and neuropathic pain among patients undergoing unilateral TKA.
This study will also assess if perineural B-DEX-MPA results in improved quality of postoperative recovery as compared to B-LB.
This will be a single center study at Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) performed at two clinical sites: York St. Campus (York Street, New Haven) and St. Raphael Campus (Chapel Street, New Haven). 250 primary, elective and unilateral TKA patients will be enrolled, and equally randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive peripheral nerve blockade with B- LB or B-DEX-MPA.
