About this study

Official title: THE EFFECT OF INTRAOPERATIVE PARACETAMOL ON CATHETER-RELATED BLADDER DISCOMFORT: A PROSPECTIVE, RANDOMISED, DOUBLE-BLIND STUDY

The insertion of an urinary catheter in a patient undergoing a surgical procedure, especially in urinary interventions, may lead to catheter-related bladder discomfort with varying degrees of severity during the postoperative period. Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) symptoms associated with indwelling urinary catheter are similar to overactive bladder symptoms such as discomfort in the suprapubic region, urinary urgency, frequency, burning sensation with or without urge incontinence. Paracetamol is a drug with proven efficiency for the management of mild and moderate postoperative pain. In this study, the investigators hypothesized to address the effect of single-dose intravenous paracetamol on postoperative CRBD following percutaneous nephrolithotomy surgery (PNL).

Group Paracetamol(n=32):iv 15mg/kg paracetamolActive comparatorThe patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group P (Paracetamol group, n=32) received intravenous 15mg/kg paracetamol during the surgery and Group C (Control Group, n=32) received intravenous 1.5 ml/kg 0.9% NaCl solution 30 minutes before the of surgery.At the end of the surgery, all patients had an nephrostomy catheter and the insertion site was infiltrated with 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine infiltration for postoperative analgesia. Each patient received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia by meperidine (10 mg bolus, 20-minute lock-out, no infusion dose and 4 hour limit) for postoperative analgesia. All patients were planned to receive tenoxicam 20 mg intravenously as a rescue analgesic when visual analogue scale (VAS) was >3.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reducing of Catheter related bladder discomfort symptoms

    CRBD was evaluated with a 4 point scale (1; no discomfort, 2; mild, revealed on questioning only, 3; moderate, stated by the patient without questioning, 4; severe, urinary urgency executed by behavioral responses, such as attempts to remove urinary catheter, restless extremity movements, verbal responses) at postoperatively 30th minutes, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 12th hours.

    Measured: CRBD was evaluated at postoperatively 30th minutes, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 12th hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of CRBD symptoms by the evaluation of VAS, sedation scales and hemodynamic findings

    Measured: at postoperatively 30th minutes, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 12th hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing intravenous paracetamol in people with Catheter Related Bladder Discomfort, run by Pinar Ergenoglu at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 27 Jul 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

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?

Reducing of Catheter related bladder discomfort symptoms (time frame: CRBD was evaluated at postoperatively 30th minutes, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 12th hours). 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 NCT01652183, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Jul 2012.
