Celecoxib as a pre-emptive analgesia in arthroscopic knee surgery; a triple blinded randomized controlled trial Mohsen Mardani-Kivi, M.D. Orthopedic Department, Guilan University Of Medical Sciences
pre-emptive analgesia not only controls pain but also may result in the reduction of opioid consumption and related side effects following orthopedic surgeries. Background
COX-2 inhibitors inhibitory effects in PG synthesis, & reduce hyperalgesia status following surgical traumas • Celecoxibnoside effects such as anti-PLT function, increased risk of GIB, Increased risk of CAD Background
To examine the effects of celecoxibin reducing pain following the arthroscopic knee surgeries: ACL reconstruction and partial meniscectomy. The purpose of the study
Methods and Materials: Variables were assessed at: 6 hour post-op, and 24 hour post-op
The patients weresimilar in both groups with respect to demographic characteristics (such as age, gender, operation time, weight and BMI) (P>0.05). Results
Patients in Celecoxib group experienced less pain than Placebo group (p<0.0001). • Such significant difference was also observed in both ACL and M subgroups. Results:
Results: Table2. Pain intensity in subgroups at 6hr and 24hr according to VAS C: Celecoxib group P: Placebo group
analgesics used in celecoxib group was significantly lower than in placebo group (P<0.05). Results: Opioid consumption
Table3. The comparison of opioid consumption between subgroups Results: Opioid consumption
All of the observed adverse effects were similar in both groups. • Nausea was observed among 12 cases (21.1%) in Celecoxib and 21 patients (35%) in placebo group at 24hr follow-up (p=0.11). • The drowsiness and dizziness scores were not significantly different between the two groups. Results: adverse effects
Celecoxib effect is dose related and clinical trial studies recommend celecoxib 400 mg to control acute pain (as we applied). Discussion
The results of the present study celecoxib may decrease pain and aopioid consumption. • Ekman et al. / 2006 / partial meniscectomy / 200 patients / significantly reduce morphine consumption • Huang et al. / 2008 / 40 patients / TKA / decreased pain and opioids nd side effects. Discussion
On the contrary: • Boonriong et al. / 102 patients / ACL / reported no significant differences in pain reduction and analgesic consumption between the celecoxib and placebo groups. Discussion
Celecoxib potential adverse effects on bone growth by interfering in bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling system. • BMP may also plays certain role in early tendon formation and any interference in its signaling system during post operation time may also delay tendon repair. Discussion
a larger population • vast range of different side effects • further long term follow-up research studies investigating the conclusive evidence of the effects of COX-2 inhibitors on bone formation and tendon repair recommendation
