简要总结
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if administration of Exparel via local infiltration for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction procedures in pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine patients provides significant pain relief and decreased narcotic use. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does Exparel significantly reduce Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores and pain levels up to one week postoperatively?
- Does Exparel significantly decrease narcotic use (number of pills taken) up to one week postoperatively?
Researchers will compare the pain outcomes and narcotic use of patients who receive Exparel and Marcaine via local infiltration to those of patients who receive only Marcaine via local infiltration for their MPFL reconstruction surgery. The goal is to understand if there is a significant difference in patient pain outcomes and narcotic use outside the first 24 hours postoperatively.
Participants will:
- receive either Exparel + Marcaine intraoperatively or Marcaine only intraoperatively during their MPFL reconstruction surgery
- receive and complete questionnaires at postoperative days 1, 4, and 7 regarding their pain scores, levels, and outcomes, effective pain treatments, overall pain interference, narcotic use (number of pills taken), and overall pain treatment satisfaction
- receive and complete secondary outcome measures of functional and psychological outcomes regarding their MPFL reconstruction surgery at postoperative day 1
详细描述
This is a single institution, prospective, single-blinded (patient) randomized controlled trial to investigate the pain-control efficacy and patient reported pain outcomes of Exparel use in youth receiving MPFL Reconstruction. Participants will be randomized into two groups, Exparel + Marcaine or Marcaine-only. To be included, participants must be aged 10+ years at the time of surgery and present with an injury requiring an isolated MPFL reconstruction. Data will be collected from the patient's electronic medical record and from Oberd. Data collected will include age, height, weight, surgical information, diagnosis, patient reported outcomes (PROs) and patient demographics. 100 participants (50 per treatment group) will be enrolled in the study with a minimum of 80 needed to complete the study. Patients will be approached pre-operatively for participation, after which the surgical team will be informed. Patients will be offered the choice to participate in the study and randomize their treatment group. If patients do not want their treatment to be randomized, they will not be included in the study. Data collection will involve the Wong-Baker Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and VAS 10-centimeter line 0-10 Numeric Pain Intensity Scale, and an institution specific pain questionnaire regarding analgesic medicine intake and complications at postoperative day one, four and seven. A pain management patient satisfaction questionnaire will also be administered on post-operative day seven. Patients' medical records will also be reviewed for readmission, calls to their physician for pain, and other noted complications.
Patients will receive the following anesthesia doses by body weight (BW):
Pre-operatively:
- Regardless of age: 0.5 mg Midazolam per kg BW (intravenous, 15 mg maximum)
- If patient has history of PONV, 0.40 mg Emend per kg BW (pill), and 2 mg Midazolam (intravenous), and/or Scopolamine patch
- If patient has history of anxiety or PTSD, or exhibits anxiety symptoms before surgery: 0.1 mg Valium per kg BW (maximum 10 mg)
Intra-operatively:

研究组 & 干预措施
Exparel + Marcaine Group
Local Infiltration: Regardless of weight: 10 mL Exparel and 10 mL 0.25% Marcaine

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Wong-Baker Face Pain Scale
时间窗: Postoperative days 1, 4, and 7
Scale with evocative faces from 0-10 (0 = No Pain, 10 = Worst Pain Possible) that assists children in communicating about their pain
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) 10-centimeter line 0-10 Numeric Pain Intensity Scale
时间窗: Postoperative days 1, 4, and 7
Sliding scale from 0-10 (0 = No Pain, 10 = Pain as bad as it could possibly be) that enables a more accurate estimate of pain score
Scottish Rite for Children-developed pain questionnaire
时间窗: Postoperative days 1, 4, and 7
Institutional questionnaire that asks how many narcotic pills the patient has taken (0 - 12 pills), if their pain is controlled, treatments that lessens their pain, term that best describes their pain, how much their pain has interfered with daily tasks and overall mood, and sleep interference due to pain.
Pain Management Patient Satisfaction questionnaire
时间窗: Postoperative day 7
Questionnaire that asks how satisfied patients are with their pain treatment (0 = Not Satisfied, 10 = Extremely Satisfied), if they contacted their physician due to ineffective pain treatment, how helpful the information provided for pain treatment was (0 = Not Helpful, 10 = Extremely Helpful), and a free response section to explain why they were not satisfied with their pain treatment and if they have any additional comments or suggestions based on their pain treatment.
次要结局
