Opioid-free Total Hip Arthroplasty

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Hip Osteoarthritis
Registration Number
NCT04421196
Lead Sponsor
Johns Hopkins University
Brief Summary

The primary objective of investigators' proposed study is to demonstrate that the following two cohorts undergoing total hip arthroplasty will have equivalent visual analog scale (VAS) scores up to 3 months post-operatively: one that is administered a modified multimodal analgesic pathway without opioids and the other administered the current standard multimodal analgesic pathway used at Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital (which includes opioids). The secondary objective is to demonstrate that these cohorts will also have equivalent functional outcomes as determined by both objective measures (such as hip range of motion) and patient-reported outcome measures, such as the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in post-operative pain assessed by the Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scoresFrom immediate post-operative period to 3 months post-operatively

Post-operative pain scores ranging from 0 to 10; 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain ever felt

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in pain satisfaction as assessed by Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)From pre-operative clinic visit to immediate post-operative period, then to 3 months post-operatively

A patient-reported measure that assesses components such as assesses patient pain, satisfaction including stiffness and range of motion, activity limitations-daily living, sports and recreation function, and quality of life. Scores range from 0 to 100 with a score of 0 indicating the worst possible hip symptoms and 100 indicating no hip symptoms.

Change in Physical Activity level as assessed by the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) ScaleFrom pre-operative clinic visit to immediate post-operative period, and then to 3 months post-operatively

The UCLA scale is a patient-reported measure ranging from 1 to 10. Patients indicate their most appropriate activity level, with 1 defined as "no physical activity, dependent on others" and 10 defined as "regular participation in impact sports."
