Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare magnitude of postsurgical analgesic effect in different groups following a single dose of study drug when administered via adductor canal block in subjects undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty.

Primary Outcome

The numeric rating scale pain intensity scores ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 equals no pain and 10 equals the worst possible pain, from 0 to 96 hours post-surgery. For each subject, the area under the curve was derived using the trapezoidal rule on the pain scores adjusted for opioid pain medication using the observed and imputed values. Area under the curve started with the first pain assessment obtained after surgery and use all subsequent pain assessments up to 96 hours post-surgery. Pain sco
