Long-term Observational Study of Subjects From Tanezumab Studies Who Undergo a Total Knee, Hip or Shoulder Replacement
Description

A4091064 is a multicenter, long-term observational study of subjects from tanezumab interventional studies (regardless of treatment group) who undergo a total knee, hip or shoulder replacement during participation in the study. The study is designed with a total duration of subject follow-up of 24 weeks after the total joint replacement surgery. There will be two methods of data collection utilized in this study: interview by site staff via the telephone and interactive web-response system (or paper if the subject has no access to the internet).

Radiofrequency Ablation and Steroid Versus Steroid Alone for Relief of Pain in Patients With Advanced Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis
Description

The purpose of this trial is to determine if radiofrequency ablation plus steroid perineural injections at the knee or hip provide longer pain relief and better function to patients than the current standard of care, perineural steroid injections alone. This pilot study is a prospective two arm randomized trail, all participants will be recruited from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) outpatient orthopedic clinic. 40 participants (20 hip and 20 knee OA) will be enrolled into the standard of care arm (treated with steroid injections alone) and 40 participants (20 hip and 20 knee OA) will be enrolled into the investigational arm (treatment with a combination of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) plus steroid injections) for a total of 80 enrolled participants. All subjects will complete a function and pain assessment at the time of injection and three additional time points: 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post injection. This study will use the same knee function questionnaire and frequency currently used in clinic per standard of care. In addition, all participant's surgical history and prior injection history will be reviewed via the Electronic Medical Record (EMR).

COMPLETED
NSS-2-BRIDGE Study for Total Knee and Hip Arthroplasties, Bariatric, and Kidney Transplant Surgeries
Description

The current opioid epidemic has led to a renewed interest in exploring non-pharmacological techniques to treat post-operative pain. An increasing number of patients are suffering from the adverse effects of opioid use following surgery, including post-operative nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, immunosuppression, constipation, and most recently, addiction. In the United States, over $600 billion is spent every year on opioid addiction, including $79 billion related to opioid addiction following surgery. Despite many initiatives to decrease the use of opiates in the preoperative setting, opioids continue to be regularly prescribed before, during and after surgery. Although the risk of opioid addiction following surgery is recognized, the percentage of patients becoming addicted to opioids following surgery is not well understood. To date, there has been virtually no agreement regarding the duration and dosage that qualify for opioid dependence following surgery, nor that a clear estimation of the factors such as biological, psychosocial and socioeconomic that increase the risk of using opioids for extended periods of time after surgery. Therefore, in order to combat this growing health crisis at the ground level, it is incumbent upon the medical community to explore alternative methods of pain control to treat the surgical population in order to change the incidence of post-operative opioid addiction. Percutaneous Nerve Field Stimulation (PNFS) is one of these recognized methods that ongoing research has shown to be effective as a complementary method of pain management. While PNFS is not a novel concept, clinical indications of auricular field stimulation have been limited in the past due to requirement of bulky, stationary and non-disposable stimulators and electrodes. These technological limitations made it difficult to establish the real clinical potential of auricular stimulation for the perioperative management of pain in surgical patients, despite the demonstration that auriculotherapy has been shown to relieve pain in the postoperative setting. The NSS-2- BRIDGE is a battery operated and disposable percutaneous auricular nerve field stimulator (Innovative Health Solutions, Versailles, IN, USA), that was recently cleared by the FDA and assigned a Class II Risk Designation; a class which includes surgical drapes, pumps and power wheelchairs. The indication for the NSS-2 BRIDGE is for the treatment of clinical symptoms related to opioid consumption and opioid withdrawal. These symptoms include pain, anxiety and post-operative nausea and vomiting; conditions which are also present following major orthopedic surgery such as knee and hip arthroplasties. The use of the NSS-2 BRIDGE device has been demonstrated to provide significant analgesia in patients with abdominal pain syndrome, and clinical trials are ongoing to assess the benefit of this approach for post-operative pain management. As compared to the present use of opioids for perioperative pain management, the use of a complementary, non-pharmacologic approach offers the advantage of analgesia without the associated side effects.

TXA vs. Amicar in Total Knee and Hip Arthroplasty
Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the relative effectiveness of two drug agents, Tranexamic acid (TXA) and aminocaproic acid (Amicar), that act through a similar mechanism of action. These agents are used to decrease blood loss that is a result of major surgery, like total joint arthroplasty. A secondary goal will be investigate the cost-analysis of total hospitalization. Both TXA and Amicar are both currently used in the care of patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty. Subjects will be randomly assigned to the TXA or Amicar arm. All data needed for this study including blood loss, need for transfusion, preoperative and lowest postoperative hematocrit and hemoglobin, and complications will be collected during the hospitalization stay. Our Hypothesis is that TXA and Amicar will have similar effectiveness in preventing intraoperative blood loss and the need for transfusion post-op than Amicar. A detailed cost analysis will show that the overall cost of performing the operative procedure, including transfusions, OR time, and total costs associated with admission cost will be more decreased with Amicar as compared to TXA.
