Trial summary

The surgery stress relives systemic inflammatory response by hormones and adrenergic receptors. When the pro-inflammatory mediator is higher than anti-inflammatory response, the physiologic status is impaired and the patient is more susceptible an infection and cardiovascular collapse.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Hemodynamic Response and Pos-operatory Pain in Surgery of Circumcision in Children

The surgery stress relives systemic inflammatory response by hormones and adrenergic receptors. When the pro-inflammatory mediator is higher than anti-inflammatory response, the physiologic status is impaired and the patient is more susceptible an infection and cardiovascular collapse. The anesthesia can abolish or minimize the surgery stress, improved more safety to the patient.

This study is a double blind controlled trial with 40 patients divided in two groups (EMLA and Dorsal Penile Nerve Block - DPNB) submitted a standard inhalator anesthesia and postectomy surgery by Plastbell®. The investigators will be observe heart rate, respiratory rate, arterial pressure, involuntary movements during the surgery and pain in the pos-operatory.

With this study, the investigators can define what tactic (EMLA or DPNB) associated a general anesthesia is more effective to relive the pain when children are submitted a postectomy by Plastbell®.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing circumcision in people with Children Who Need Circumcision, run by Federal University of Juiz de Fora at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 22 Jul 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 Brazil. 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?

local anesthesia relieve the circumcision pain (time frame: per-operatory; 1h and 24h pos-operatory). 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 NCT00943475, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Jul 2009.
