Official title
A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial Examining the Effectiveness of a Single Shot of Liposomal Bupivicaine for Reducing Post-operative Pain and Narcotic Use in Outpatient Rotator Cuff Surgery
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This document is a protocol for a human research study. This study is to be conducted according to United States standards of Good Clinical Practice in accordance with applicable Federal regulations and institutional research policies and procedures. Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) has been shown to decrease post-operative pain and narcotic use when administered perioperatively as a local injection during arthroplasty procedures. Studies have also demonstrated that LB used in conjunction with dexamethasone may increase the duration of effectiveness of LB. This study seeks to evaluate if there is a difference in post-operative pain and narcotic use when LB is administered in an interscalene block during outpatient rotator cuff repair surgery. Furthermore, this study aims to determine if the addition of dexamethasone with LB results in a prolonged decrease in post-operative pain and a reduction in narcotic use.
