Official title
Low Dose Extended-release Epidural Morphine in Conjunction With Lumbar Plexus Block Versus Lumbar Plexus Block Alone for Total Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
At Wake Forest University, the investigators have been using Extended Release Epidural Morphine (EREM), since late 2004, as part of multimodal analgesia in patients having gynecologic surgeries and hip arthroplasties. Hypothesis: In patients undergoing a Birmingham total hip arthroplasty (BHA), low dose EREM in conjunction with lumbar plexus block (LPB) will be better than lumbar plexus block alone in increasing proportion of patients who meet discharge criteria within 24 hours.
