Liposomal Bupivacaine Reduces Opiate Consumption After Rotator Cuff Repair in a Randomized Control Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) for Rotator Cuff Tear and Postoperative Pain. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The use of an interscalene block (ISB) is often associated with rebound pain that could be avoided through adjunctive therapy with longer duration. Administration of a liposomal bupivacaine (LB) field block in addition to ISB would overcome this rebound pain to provide greater pain relief and reduce opiate consumption when compared to ISB alone. 50 patients were recruited and randomized into groups that either received or did not receive an intraoperative LB field block in addition to standard ISB administration. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores and narcotic consumption were recorded over the five-day postoperative period to determine the effectiveness of LB pain relief.
