About this study

Official title: LA PREDISPOSIZIONE AL DOLORE PERSISTENTE POST OPERATORIO IN AMBITO ORTOPEDICO: ASPETTI GENETICI

The study purpose is to examine polymorphism of genes associated to post-operative persistent pain and to verify the possible association between genotype phenotype and ADRB2 polymorphism in orthopaedic surgery. The primary aim is to evaluate the expression of ADBR2 in VAS>4 patients and to compare it to those with VAS<4.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of SNPs rs12654788 and rs1042713 of ADBR2 gene in patients who complain persistent pain 4 months postoperatively compared to chronic pain free patients.

    Measured: 4 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Expression frequency of OPRM1, COMT, IL1Ra

    Measured: 6, 12, 24, 48 hours

  2. Serum concentration of TNFα, TGFβ, IFNγ, IL-6 and IL-10 obtained with ELISA system

    Measured: 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Pain, run by ASST Gaetano Pini-CTO at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 7 Feb 2017. 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 Italy. 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.

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?

Frequency of SNPs rs12654788 and rs1042713 of ADBR2 gene in patients who complain persistent pain 4 months postoperatively compared to chronic pain free patients. (time frame: 4 months after surgery). 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 7 Feb 2017.
