About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adequate dose of intrathecal hydromorphone injection for postoperative pain relief after knee arthroscopic surgery.

Read the detailed description

Sixty patients who were undergoing unilateral knee arthroscopy randomly received unilateral spinal anesthesia with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 6 mg combined with normal saline 0.05 mL or hydromorphone 2.5, 5 or, 10 μg/0.05 mL. The verbal numerical rating scale (VNRS) pain scores were measured at 30 minutes and 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours postoperatively, and the side effects of hydromorphone were recorded.

Being tested
Hydromorphone

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydromorphone in people with Pain Measurement and Visual Analog Pain Scale, run by Korea University Anam Hospital.

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 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 27 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Visual Analgesic Numberic Score (time frame: during postoperative recovery period.). 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 NCT01172782, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jun 2011.
