Role of Perineural Catheter in Pain Control and Opioid Consumption After Major Amputation of Lower Limb

Conditions: Lower Limb Surgery, Pain, Phantom Limb Pain After Amputation, Stump Pain, Amputation

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 75 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE4
Enrollment: 96
Sponsor: Aga Khan University

Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative bupivacaine infusion through a perineural catheter in managing postoperative pain and to determine the opioid consumption among patients undergoing major lower-limb amputation surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does postoperative bupivacaine infusion through a perineural catheter provide better postoperative pain control as compared to intravenous opioid analgesia alone? * Does postoperative bupivacaine infusion through a perineural catheter reduce intravenous opioid consumption within the first 48 hours after surgery compared with intravenous opioid analgesia alone? * Does the postoperative Bupivacaine infusion through perineural catheter help in reducing the phantom pain at 6 months follow-up?

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18 and above * Patients undergoing lower limb amputation. * ASA status I to IV. * Patients under general or spinal anaesthesia Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with no allergies to study drugs (inje Bupivacaine 0.125%, Inje Tramadol, Inje Morphine) * Pregnant and lactating patients * Patients who require post-operative ventilatory support in ICU * Those with open wound of amputation stump * Procedures performed under peripheral nerve block
