Official title: Comparison of a Patient Controlled Oral Administration (PCOA) of Analgesic Protocol With an IV Administration After Planned Caesarian Section : Monocentric, Randomised and Controlled Study

C-section deliveries are painful and need adequate analgesia. In the same time, mothers need early rehabilitation to take care of the baby.

Hypothesis: Early oral self administration of painkillers could be as effective as usual IV administration by nursing staff.

Purpose of the study: Evaluation of the efficacy of a program of self administration of painkillers postoperatively of C-section delivery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Median pain score during the first 48 hours (Verbal rating PAin Scale)

    The pain score will be assessed by investigators at different times : H2 (2 hours after the end of the caesarian), H6, H12, H18, H24, H30, H36 and H48.

    Measured: After 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Onset of the first request of rescue analgesic drug

    If the study analgesic treatment is not enough, a rescue analgesic drug could administered by nursing staff.

    Measured: maximum 48 hours following the caesarian

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Acetaminophen, ketoprofen, morphine and Acetaminophen, ketoprofen,morphine in people with Caesarian Section, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 9 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 4 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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?

Median pain score during the first 48 hours (Verbal rating PAin Scale) (time frame: After 48 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 4 Apr 2013.
