Trial summary

Lateral episiotomy is a current care practiced with childbirth room. One of the problems encountered with this surgical act is the residual pain on perineal scar level. Maximal during the first 24 hours, this pain can persist several days or several weeks hampering to variable degrees a normal recovery of autonomy and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Of The Analgesia Obtained By Infiltration Of Lidocaïne 1% And Ropivacaïne 0,75% Versus Placebo For The Joinings Of Episiotomies Among Parturients Under Epidural Analgesia

Lateral episiotomy is a current care practiced with childbirth room. One of the problems encountered with this surgical act is the residual pain on perineal scar level. Maximal during the first 24 hours, this pain can persist several days or several weeks hampering to variable degrees a normal recovery of autonomy and comfort of life. Some studies have shown the interest of ropivacaine, local anaesthetic with a long action's duration for proctologic surgeries and for the cure of inguinal hernia. A recent study shown the ropivacaine perineal infiltration used prior perineorrhaphy allows an absence of post-partum pain for 24 to 27% of cases and a first analgesics request delayed to ten hours.

Methodology: 165 parturients having an epidural analgesia and an episiotomy were enrolled. The perineal infiltration was randomized according to 3 equal groups (placebo, ropivacaine 0,75%, lidocaine 1%) and realised prior perineorrhaphy. then The parturient were followed during the 24 first hours. This study was designed as double blind and the study conduct was standardized in order to get only variable such as the episiotomy infiltration.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time between the infiltration of the local anaesthetic and the first analgesics catch per os, which is managed when the level of pain evaluated by EVA is higher than 30 mm

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To compare between the 3 groups the mean level of the pain during the first 24 hours following the joining of the episiotomy, measured by EVA

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. To compare between the 3 groups the analgesics overall consumption per os during the first 24 hours following the joining of the episiotomy

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. To compare between the 3 groups the total cost of the analgesics consumption (local anaesthetic employed and analgesics per bone) during the first 24 hours following the joining of the episiotomy

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lidocaïne and Ropivacaïne in people with Parturients and Childbirth, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

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 18 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 5 Aug 2008. 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 France. 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?

Time between the infiltration of the local anaesthetic and the first analgesics catch per os, which is managed when the level of pain evaluated by EVA is higher than 30 mm (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Aug 2008.
