About this study

Official title: Premedication With Single Dose Gabapentin to Improve Patient Tolerance in ERCP: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

The standard approach to sedation in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) involves the use of benzodiazepines and opiates to achieve a moderate depth of sedation. There is data to suggest supplementing this regimen with gabapentin may lead to reduced pain, higher patient satisfaction and lower opiate requirements. The investigators are conducting a clinical trial to study this hypothesis.

What participants receive

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

  • GabapentinDrug

    gabapentin 900mg PO x 1 dose, 1 hour prior to the procedure

  • Standard sedation regimenOther

    Combination opiate and benzodiazepine will be administered to achieve moderate sedation. This is the standard of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dosing Requirements

    Assess the effect of a single 900mg dose of gabapentin pre- ERCP on intra and post procedure narcotic/sedative requirements.

    Measured: At time of discharge post-procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Sedation-Related Adverse Events

    Sedation-related adverse events

    Measured: At time of discharge post-procedure

  2. Median Pain Score at Time of Discharge

    Assess the effect of a single 900mg dose of gabapentin on pain at time of discharge, measured by a visual analog scale ranging from 0 (worst pain) to 100 (no pain).

    Measured: At time of discharge post-procedure

  3. Median Anxiety Score at Time of Discharge

    Assess the effect of a single 900mg dose of gabapentin on anxiety at time of discharge, measured by a visual analog scale ranging from 0 (worst anxiety) to 100 (no anxiety).

    Measured: At time of discharge post-procedure

  4. Median Nausea Score at Time of Discharge

    Assess the effect of a single 900mg dose of gabapentin on nausea at time of discharge, measured by a visual analog scale ranging from 0 (worst nausea) to 100 (no nausea).

    Measured: At time of discharge post-procedure

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?

Dosing Requirements (time frame: At time of discharge post-procedure). 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.
