About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomised, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Trial Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Parecoxib Sodium on Morphine Patient-controlled Epidural Analgesia After Gynecologic Surgery

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of parecoxib in combination with epidural morphine in providing analgesia for patients undergoing gynecological surgery.

Read the detailed description

Researches have showed that the use of epidural and spinal block resulted in significant reduction in morbidity and mortality after surgery. Moreover, appropriate pain management results in better outcomes. Opioids therapy is recommended as the first choice medication for the management of postoperative pain but is associated with a number of undesirable adverse effects. A multimodal therapy for providing postoperative analgesia has advantages over the use of opioids alone. The use of NSAIDs and opioids together often improves analgesia and reduces the need for opioids in the postoperative period. Often, the combination of COX-2 inhibitors with epidural analgesia is preferred. With epidural analgesia, addition of COX-2 inhibitors may improve the analgesia and decrease the undesirable side effects.

What participants receive

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

  • Parecoxib SodiumDrug

    Also called Dynastat

    Before incision, patients in Group P (n = 120) receive 40mg of parecoxib IV. Thereafter, parecoxib patients receive 40mg of parecoxib IV every 12 h for 48 h. 30 min before the end of surgery, a mixture of 6 mL of ropivacaine 0.25% and 2mg morphine was given epidurally. Epidural patient-controlled analgesia was initiated by using ropivacaine 0.125% (1.25 mg/ml) and morphine 0.005% (0.05 mg/ml) with a basal infusion rate of 2 ml/h, a demand dose of 2 ml, and a 15-min lockout.

  • Normal salineDrug

    Also called NS

    Before incision, patients in Group C (n = 120) receive 2 mL of normal saline IV. Thereafter, they receive 2 mL of normal saline IV every 12 h for 48 h. 30 min before the end of surgery, a mixture of 6 mL of ropivacaine 0.25% and 2mg morphine was given epidurally. Epidural patient-controlled analgesia was initiated by using ropivacaine 0.125% (1.25 mg/ml) and morphine 0.005% (0.05 mg/ml) with a basal infusion rate of 2 ml/h, a demand dose of 2 ml, and a 15-min lockout.

What is being measured

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

  1. morphine-sparing effect of parecoxib

    The primary end-point of this study was to quantify the morphine-sparing effect of a multimodal approach containing parecoxib compared with the standard PCEA approach in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.

    Measured: within 48 h after skin closure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. pain intensity and side effects accompanied with PCEA and parecoxib

    The secondary outcome included pain intensity, the patients' global evaluation, and side effects accompanied with PCEA and parecoxib, such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus, sedation, motor block in the lower extremities, and the time to passage of flatus and first bowel movement.Blood loss, length of hospitalization, and postoperative cardiovascular (CV) events were also recorded.

    Measured: within 48 h after skin closure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Parecoxib Sodium and Normal saline in people with Benign Female Reproductive System Neoplasm, run by Liu Weifeng at 1 site in China.

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 24 Sep 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 China. 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. 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?

morphine-sparing effect of parecoxib (time frame: within 48 h after skin closure). 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 NCT01566669, 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 24 Sep 2012.
