About this study

Official title: Pain Outcomes Following Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) With Rigid Spreading Versus Soft Spreading (Using LAP Protector)

The purpose of this study is to see if different types of spreading (rigid or soft) of Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) for lung cancer have different effects on pain.

Read the detailed description

The Lap-Protector (Hakko Co., Japan) is a device that consists of two flexible rings made of superelasticity alloys covered with polyurethane polyamide, and a thin silicone rubber membrane that is attached to the outer rim of the two rings. If the two rings are pulled apart, the device assumes a cylindrical shape. The outer diameter of each flexible ring is 12 cm, and this device can be used for minilaparotomy wounds between 5 and 9cm long.

The rigid spreadingPatients with lung cancer underwent Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) with rigid spreading.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare the level of postoperative pain between the rigid and soft spreading groups

    The level of postoperative pain was measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Compare early postoperative analgesic requirements between the rigid and soft spreading groups

    Postoperative analgesic requirements (e.g. the amount of morphine titration).

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou 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 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2010. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xin Xu, MD (+86-20-83337792, yichunrenjia@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare the level of postoperative pain between the rigid and soft spreading groups (time frame: 1 day). 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 15 Apr 2010.
