NCT04448457
Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Sublingual Sufentanil Tablets System (SSTS, Zalviso ®) to control postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty in the context of early rehabilitation program.
SSTS is a novel patient controlled analgesia system wich does not require intravenous access, potentially improving pain control and promoting mobilization.
SSTS will be randomly compared to nurse-driven oral Oxycodone.
Detailed Description:
Even with multimodal analgesia (combining local anesthetic infiltration, corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and acetaminophen), total knee arthroplasty is associated with acute moderate-to-severe postoperative pain requiring opioids treatment. We compare the efficacy of SSTS and oral Oxycodone in this context.
After written informed consent, patients will be randomly assigned postoperatively to SSTS or Oral oxycodone group at a ratio 1:1. Pain scores, mobilization and patient satisfaction will be analyzed.
