An interventional study of Epidural catheter is used postoperatively and Fascia iliaca compartment catheter is used postoperatively in Postoperative Pain, sponsored by Boston Children's Hospital. Withdrawn at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 15 Years to 35 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-08-10.
Sponsored by Boston Children's Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The investigators are investigating two ways of treating pain after hip surgery. One way is though a thin tube (called a catheter), and it is placed into the back so that pain-numbing drugs can reach the nerves near the backbone. This is called an "epidural" catheter. Another way is to place the catheter close to the hip, where the surgery is done, so that the pain-numbing drugs can reach some of the nerves more locally. This is called a "fascia iliaca compartment" catheter.
The investigators do not know which way is best to treat pain, or has fewer side effects, or allows a patient to leave hospital faster. Usually, patients would receive only one type of catheter for pain relief. To do this comparison, the investigators would place both catheter types, so that patients help us tell which one works better.
