Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen compared to a single dose of ketorolac for the treatment of postoperative pain as measured by patient pain intensity (Visual Analog Scale, VAS).

The secondary objectives of this study are:

  • To compare amount of and time to rescue medication in the postoperative period between IV ibuprofen and IV ketorolac treatment groups.
  • To compare time to mobility in the postoperative period between IV ibuprofen and IV ketorolac treatment groups.
  • To compare time to discharge in the postoperative period between IV ibuprofen and IV ketorolac treatment groups.
  • To compare the incidence of adverse events between IV ibuprofen and IV ketorolac treatment groups.

What participants receive

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

  • IV IbuprofenDrug

    Also called IV Caldolor

    Patients will be randomized to receive 800 mg intravenous ibuprofen or 30 mg ketorolac; each of the two treatment groups will consist of 25 patients.

  • IV KetorolacDrug

    Also called IV Toradol

    Patients will be randomized to receive 800 mg intravenous ibuprofen or 30 mg ketorolac; each of the two treatment groups will consist of 25 patients.

Study groups in NCT01514175
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ibuprofen versus ketoralacExperimentalIV ibuprofen (800 mg intravenous ibuprofen administered intravenously over 10 minutes) will be administered as a single dose prior to surgery at the initiation of anesthesia. A corresponding volume of NS will be administered to the group randomized to ketorolac, at the same time to maintain the study blind.
Receives: Drug: IV Ibuprofen; Drug: IV Ketorolac

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing IV Ibuprofen and IV Ketorolac in people with Chronic Pelvic Pain, run by Culpeper Surgery Center at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2012. 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The efficacy of a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen compared to a single dose of ketorolac for the treatment of postoperative pain as measured by patient pain intensity (Visual Analog Scale, VAS). (time frame: One Year). 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 16 May 2012.
