Study Description

Brief Summary

Hypothesis: Ropivacaine, morphine and ketorolac injected after knee arthroscopy is as effective as this solution plus ropivacaine administered intra-articularly for twenty-four hours.

Three groups were assigned random patients, each group provided a different method of pain medication in order to determine the effectiveness of each treatment.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: pain pump containing ropivacaine
  • Device: saline pain pump with injectable medication
  • Drug: ropivacaine, ketorolac , morphine sulfate
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Arthroscopic knee patients were randomized to 1 of 3 groups. A) 30mL of ropivacaine (0.5%), 30mg of ketorolac and 8mg of morphine sulfate injected plus a pain pump containing 100mL of ropivacaine (0.5%) administered at 4 mL/hour; B) an identical solution plus a pain pump containing 100-mL of normal saline administered at 4 mL/hour; C) an identical solution and no pain pump. Pain level, the amount of pain medication used and time to discharge were recorded. Clinical and radiographic evaluation was performed at nine months after surgery.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Pain Score 8 Hours Post-operativley [8 hours post surgery]

      Visual Analog Scale. The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain. "no pain" on the left end (0 cm) of the scale and the "worst pain" on the right end of the scale (10 cm).

    2. Pain Scale [24 hours post surgery]

      Visual Analog Scale. The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain. "no pain" on the left end (0 cm) of the scale and the "worst pain" on the right end of the scale (10 cm).

    3. Pain Scale [48 hours post-surgery]

      Visual Analog Scale. The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain. "no pain" on the left end (0 cm) of the scale and the "worst pain" on the right end of the scale (10 cm).

    4. Pain Scale [72 hours post surgery]

      Visual Analog Scale. The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain. "no pain" on the left end (0 cm) of the scale and the "worst pain" on the right end of the scale (10 cm).
