Trial summary

The impact of anaesthetic method (intravenous vs. inhalational) has been proposed, but not proven in a large-scale study. The researchers aim to provide an investigation that has sufficient power to clarify the potential effect of anaesthetic method on postoperative need of opioids. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Postoperative Pain After Propofol Sevoflurane Anaesthesia: a Prospective, Randomized, Single-blinded Trial

The impact of anaesthetic method (intravenous vs. inhalational) has been proposed, but not proven in a large-scale study. The researchers aim to provide an investigation that has sufficient power to clarify the potential effect of anaesthetic method on postoperative need of opioids. Sevoflurane and propofol will be compared.

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Also called Baxter Sevofluran

    Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia, sufficient amount to maintain adequate general anesthesia for surgery

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called Propofol Lipuro

    Propofol intravenous anesthesia, sufficient amount to maintain adequate anesthesia during surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative consumption of an opioid (oxycodone)

    The consumption of oxycodone will be monitored by recording the amount of the drug received via a commercially available patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump.

    Measured: 20 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. NRS (numeral rating scale) of pain

    NRS is evaluated frequently during the study period.

    Measured: 20 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sevoflurane and Propofol in people with Healthy Adults and Gynecological Disease, run by Tampere University Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 10 Apr 2013. 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 Finland. 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?

Postoperative consumption of an opioid (oxycodone) (time frame: 20 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 10 Apr 2013.
