Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

75

Results

Thirty-eight patients in the duloxetine group and 37 in the control group were analyzed. Duloxetine significantly reduced pain at rest at 6 months postoperatively and acetaminophen consumption during the third postoperative week, although no differences were observed in other outcomes. Overall, duloxetine provided only a modest analgesic benefit after HTO, and routine postoperative use cannot be recommended.

Baseline Characteristics

Eligible patients were aged over 40 years and scheduled to undergo primary unilateral HTO for KOA, osteonecrosis, or subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee.15 Exclusion criteria were patients with prior duloxetine use within 1 month of consent for this clinical trial, American Society of Anesthesiologists class IV or higher, myocardial infarc- tion, psychiatric or organic brain disorders, a history of coronary artery disease, unstable angina, heart failure, kidney failure, hepatic failure, pregnancy, breastfeeding, poorly controlled angle-closure glaucoma, intolerance or allergy to study drugs, administration of monoamine oxi- dase inhibitors within 2 weeks before enrolment, aspirin- induced asthma, or patients who would be unable to undergo 3 weeks of post-operative rehabilitation and take medication while hospitalized.

Participant flow

Patients were randomised into either the control or du- loxetine group using a computerised, random allocation by a clinician not involved in the clinical analysis.
The basic examination items included age, sex, body mass index, the presence or absence of NP and central sensitisation (CS), and radiographic examination (Kellgren Lawrance grade and Hip knee ankle angle).16 Possible NP was defined as PainDETECT over 14 points and CS was defined as Central sensitization index over 40 points.

Adverse events

In the duloxetine group, one adverse event

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was pain at rest and during motion, assessed by two independent physiotherapists preopera- tivelyandat,and5days;,and3weeks;and2,3,and 6 months postoperatively, using rVAS and mVAS (scores 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the most severe pain). Secondary pain outcomes included the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI; pain severity and interference scores) assessed at the same time points.21 Secondary outcomes measures included the Knee Society Score (KSS; knee and
function scores) and the 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS2011) recorded preoperatively and at 6 months post- operatively,22 acetaminophen consumption, and adverse events related to duloxetine, as reported by the drug manufacturer.
