NCT05023278
Patients experience pain after their knee replacement surgery - and some may continue to experience persistent pain long after their knee replacement surgery. Traditional pain management strategies reply on pain medication such as opioids for pain control. However, these drugs do not work well for pain associated with movement or the the nerve pain (tingling, electrical sensations) after surgery. In addition, opioids are associated with significant side effects such as nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, depression, cognitive dysfunction and risk of persistent opioid use. Neuropathic pain medications, such as venlafaxine are effective in managing nerve pain. Recent studies also support its potential role in acute pain management. Here, we propose a prospective randomized clinical trial 1) to evaluate the efficacy of Venlafaxine in reducing pain intensity and opioid consumption at post-operative day 1 (POD1) and 1- week after surgery, and 2) to examine whether the use of Venlafaxine will reduce the incidents of chronic postsurgical pain in TKA patients at 3-month time point.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease with a prevalence of up to 30% among adults over 45 years old. Moreover, elderly people over 60 years are more prone to develop a chronification of pain symptomatology. Chronic pain in OA enormously restricts patients' ability to perform their daily activities, eliciting psychological distress and mood alterations, and producing massive socioeconomic consequences. For these reasons, any non-invasive drug-free treatment that decreases chronic pain in OA requires serious evaluation. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of noninvasive interoceptive stimulation (affective touch) in treating chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA).
