About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Intrathecal Morphine in Patients Undergoing Robot-assisted Prostatectomy

This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal morphine for the patients undergoing robot-assisted prostatectomy

Read the detailed description

Prostatectomy is the treatment of choice for prostate cancer. The robot-assisted prostatectomy is becoming the most popular surgical method for prostate cancer. The small incision after robot-assisted prostatectomy is thought to reduce the postoperative pain. There is few investigations for the strategy to reduce the postoperative pain of robot-assisted prostatectomy.

The intrathecal morphine injection is known to reduce postoperative pain for surgeries like hepatectomy, myomectomy and open prostatectomy. This method, however, is not yet studied for the robot-assisted prostatectomy. This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal morphine for the patients undergoing robot-assisted prostatectomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The evaluation of pain at 24 hours after surgery

    The doctor blinded to the investigation will visit patients. The pain will be assessed at rest and at coughing using visual analogue scale.

    Measured: at postoperatively 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The consumption of analgesics

    The total amount of opioids (IV morphine) used for 24 hours after surgery will be recorded and compared.

    Measured: at postoperatively 24 hours

  2. The consumption of intraoperative opioids

    The total amount of intraoperative opioids (IV remifentanil) will be recorded and compared.

    Measured: From the induction of anesthesia till the emergence of anesthesia, an expected average of 4 hours

  3. The side effects of opioids after surgery

    Any side effects of opioids including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sedation, headache, pruritus and respiratory depression will be recorded.

    Measured: During 72 hours after the end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing The intrathecal morphine injection in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2015. 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 South Korea. 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?

The evaluation of pain at 24 hours after surgery (time frame: at postoperatively 24 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 3 Jul 2015.
