Effect of Preoperative Intravenous High Dose Methylprednisolone on Immune Signaling in Patients Scheduled for Total Hip-arthroplasty
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Methylprednisolone and Isotonic Sodium Chloride for Osteoarthrosis. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study evaluates the pathophysiological effects of a single dose Methylprednisolone administered prior to total hip-arthroplasty (THA) surgery. The investigators examine the effect on immune signaling and recovery after surgery. Half of participants will receive intravenous Solu-Medrol 125 mg, while the other half will receive placebo. The investigators hypothesize that the group receiving Methylprednisolone will experience a positive modulation of the immune response and an enhanced recovery.
