Trial summary

Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is a popular technique for postoperative pain management. Although several drugs are recognized as effective therapeutic options, optimal selection of drugs in hysterectomy patients underwent different anesthesia treatments remains unknown explicitly.

About this study

Official title: Butorphanol and Tramadol for Morphine PCA Pain Management After Total Hysterectomy

Intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is a popular technique for postoperative pain management. Although several drugs are recognized as effective therapeutic options, optimal selection of drugs in hysterectomy patients underwent different anesthesia treatments remains unknown explicitly. The investigators hypothesized that butorphanol and tramadol can produce different analgesic effects with intravenous PCA after abdominal hysterectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Saline, Butorphanol tartrate and Tramadol Hydrochloride in people with Postoperative Pain and Hysterectomy, run by Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

VAS pain scoring; (time frame: 5 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00510666, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Mar 2009.
