Trial summary

In this study, the aim is to compare the efficacy of single dose naproxen sodium and combination of naproxen sodium-codeine phosphate on post-operative pain in adult patients undergoing arthroscopic menisectomy.Pre-emptive oral naproxen-codeine may be safely and more advantageous than naproxen alone.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Post-operative Analgesic Effects of Naproxen Sodium and Naproxen Sodium-codeine Phosphate Administered Preemptively for Arthroscopic Meniscus Surgery

In this study, the aim is to compare the efficacy of single dose naproxen sodium and combination of naproxen sodium-codeine phosphate on post-operative pain in adult patients undergoing arthroscopic menisectomy.Pre-emptive oral naproxen-codeine may be safely and more advantageous than naproxen alone.

Read the detailed description

Patients receiving preemptive oral naproxen sodium (Group N) or naproxen sodium-codeine phosphate (Group NC) were assigned in 2 groups.Preoperatively, drugs were given orally by a nurse unaware of the study to both groups within 60 minutes before surgery. Hemodynamic datas, possible side effects, pain and sedation levels of patients were recorded. Patient's pain and sedation levels were statistically assessed.

Being tested
Group N:Naproxen sodium, Group NC :naproxen sodium codeine phosphate
Keywords
Naproxen-codeine, preemptive analgesia, day case surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain scores as measured by Visual Analogue Scale were significantly lower in Group Naproxen codeine (group NC) at all time points compared to Group Naproxen (group N) in 61 patients who underwent arthroscopic meniscus surgery.

    patients will be followed postoperatively 18 hours for pain levels

    Measured: postoperative 18 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Group N:Naproxen sodium and Group NC :naproxen sodium codeine phosphate in people with Arthroscopic Meniscus Surgery, run by Baskent University 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 30 Sep 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 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. 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?

Pain scores as measured by Visual Analogue Scale were significantly lower in Group Naproxen codeine (group NC) at all time points compared to Group Naproxen (group N) in 61 patients who underwent arthroscopic meniscus surgery. (time frame: postoperative 18 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 30 Sep 2013.
