Conditions
Acute Pain

Registration Number
NCT03523832

Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia
Brief Summary

Acute Pain is the most common early complication after total knee arthroplasty that caused delayed mobilization, demands of morphine, and higher operative cost. There were many researches that had been done in analgesia method to find the most effective analgesia, lowest side effect, and easy to apply. Preemptive analgesia of combined celecoxib and pregabalin were reported to give a promising outcome.

In a randomized, double blind controlled clinical trial, 30 subjects underwent surgery for total knee arthroplasty using 15-20mg bupivacaine 5% epidural anesthesia. All subjects were divided into three groups. First group was given celecoxib 400mg and pregabaline 150mg 1 hour before operation, second group was given celecoxib 200mg and pregabaline 75mg twice daily started from 3 days before operation, and the last group was given placebo. The outcome was measured with VAS, knee ROM, and post-operative mobilization

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total Morphine ConsumptionThird day post-operative

In this study, morphine is given by patient control analgesia (PCA).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post-operative Painevery morning [daily], up to 3 days

Measured and evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). VAS score of 1-10. With the maximal of 10. Ranging from no pain to unbearable pain. Worst pain is in score 10.

Knee functional outcomeevery morning [daily], up to 3 days

Measured by active knee range of motion using goniometer. The outcome scale is in degree range of motion. The knee range of motion is 0 degree (total extension) to 135 degree (full flexion). The more range of motion degree, the better the result.

Mobilizationon the first day, standing on the second day, and walking on the third day

The patient is expected to be able to do sitting motion
