bupivacaine and Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

bupivacaine has been researched along with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome in 2 studies

Bupivacaine: A widely used local anesthetic agent.
1-butyl-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)piperidine-2-carboxamide : A piperidinecarboxamide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of N-butylpipecolic acid with the amino group of 2,6-dimethylaniline.
bupivacaine : A racemate composed of equimolar amounts of dextrobupivacaine and levobupivacaine. Used (in the form of its hydrochloride hydrate) as a local anaesthetic.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome: A condition of persistent pain and discomfort in the BACK and the LEG following lumbar surgery, often seen in patients enrolled in pain centers.

Trial Outcomes

Adverse Event (AE)

AE is any untoward medical occurrence in the patient which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this infusion treatment (NCT03523000)
Timeframe: Assessing any AEs that occur from baseline (Day 1) through the 12-month post-implant clinic follow up

InterventionAdverse events (Number)

Change in Medication

Number of participants that had increases or decreases in the dose or frequency of pain medication (NCT03523000)
Timeframe: Assessing any changes in pain medications from baseline (Day 1) through the 12-month post-implant clinic follow up

InterventionParticipants (Count of Participants)

Change in Numerical Rating Scale Pain Scores (NRS) at Rest

Numerical Rating Scale is an 11-point pain scale whereby 0 signifies no pain and 10 the worse pain ever (NCT03523000)
Timeframe: Comparing change in NRS from baseline (Day 1) to: end of intrathecal infusion of solution 1 (Day 2), end of intrathecal infusion of solution 2 (Day 3)

Change in Oswestry Disability Score (ODI)

Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) This scale based on a questionnaire of activities measures the impact of pain on multiple factors within a patient's daily life. Higher values represent worse outcomes, or a higher impact from pain on the patient's daily life. The total score range is 0-50. Subcategories include: 0-4: no disability. 5-14: mild disability. 15-24: moderate disability. 25-34: sever disability. 35-50: completely disabled. (NCT03523000)
Timeframe: Comparing change in ODI from baseline (Day 1) to: end of intrathecal infusion of solution 2 (Day 3)

Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (TSQ)

TSQ is a questionnaire to rate level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the Intrathecal Drug Delivery- patients were asked preference for either intrathecal solution. Patient preferences for each solution were measured. This data represents the total number of patient's that received a trial and the total number of patients who preferred each solution. Higher values indicate a greater number of study participants preferred a specific arm. Patients with no preference are listed separately. (NCT03523000)
Timeframe: Up to one year
