About this study

Official title: Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy After Anesthesia With Isoflurane, Desflurane, Sevoflurane or Propofol

To the investigators' knowledge, no study has looked at differences in postoperative pain when comparing maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane, and propofol in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The investigators' hypothesis is that total intravenous anesthesia with propofol will lead to less postoperative pain in the first 24 hours after laparoscopic cholecystectomy when compared to maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane, desflurane or sevoflurane.

PURPOSE

To find out if maintenance of anesthesia with propofol leads to less postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy when compared to maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane, desflurane, or sevoflurane.

Being tested
Desflurane, Sevoflurane, Isoflurane, Propofol
Medical subject headings
Pain, Postoperative

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain Measured on Verbal Scale of 0-10

    Pain measured on verbal scale of 0-10, with 0 being absolutely no pain, and 10 being the worst pain in that subjects life.

    Measured: 24 hours

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.

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?

Pain Measured on Verbal Scale of 0-10 (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 1 Feb 2019.
