Trial summary

This study evaluates the analgetic effects of the fast-release orodispersible tramadol tablet. Tramadol acts through a weak affinity for μ receptors and secondly by inhibiting noradrenaline and serotonin neuronal reuptake. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Fast-Release Orodispersible Tramadol Tablet (Tradonal Odis®) as Analgesia for Hysterosalpingography : a Randomized, Controlled, Double Blinded Study

This study evaluates the analgetic effects of the fast-release orodispersible tramadol tablet.

Tramadol acts through a weak affinity for μ receptors and secondly by inhibiting noradrenaline and serotonin neuronal reuptake. It has been used since the 1970s by over 50 million people for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. The orodispersible Tramadol tablet is a new galenic form and is available on the Belgian market for the last three years. Pregastric absorption leads to a quicker onset of action.

So far, evidence shows that pain during and immediately after the Hysterosalpingography (HSG) procedure is only significantly reduced by IV opioid analgesia. This study evaluates the analgetic potential of an orodispersible opioid tablet. This tablet disintegrates rapidly (in around 20-30 seconds) and may be taken without water. Its abuse potential is very low and its respiratory depressant effect is negligible.

Read the detailed description

Four arm prospective randomized double blinded trial

Patients that need a HSG as part of their diagnostic work-up and are eligible for randomization are counseled about possible participation. After signing the informed consent patients will be randomized in one of the following four groups:

Group 1: Fast-release Orodispersible Tramadol Tablet + metal cannula Group 2: Placebo + metal cannula Group 3: Fast-release Orodispersible Tramadol Tablet + balloon catheter Group 4: Placebo + balloon catheter

Tablets are administered 30 min before the procedure

Primary Endpoint:

  • VAS at the six different assessment points

Secondary Endpoint

  • adverse effects and complications such as: nausea, vomiting, constipation, drowsiness, respiratory depression, hypotension, allergic reaction and infection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fast-release Orodispersible Tramadol Tablet (Tradonal odis®) and Hysterosalpingography (HSG) in people with Infertility and Pain, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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 6 May 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 Belgium. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 at the six different assessment points (time frame: 24 hours). 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 6 May 2009.
