About this study

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of pancreatic stones has been described as an effective approach for stone drainage and pain relief, and general or epidural anesthesia has been reported for such procedure. Single infusion of remifentanil has been described in ESWL of urinary stones, but it has never been described in ESWL of pancreatic stones. Moreover, single infusion of remifentanil might induce several complications, such as postoperative nausea and vomiting. The investigators attended to investigated whether combination of flurbiprofen with remifentanil reduced remifentanil dose and attenuated the complications.

Being tested
Remifentanil, Flurbiprofen and remifentanil

What participants receive

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

  • RemifentanilDrug

    Patients in Rem group receive sedation and analgesia with remifentanil, dose of which will be determined by the up-and-down method.

  • Flurbiprofen and remifentanilDrug

    Patients in this group receive sedation and analgesia with flurbiprofen and remifentanil, dose of which was determined by the up-and-down method.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Remifentanil and Flurbiprofen and remifentanil in people with Pancreatic Stone Disease, run by Changhai Hospital 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 3 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 4 Feb 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 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. 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?

Visual analogue score of pain (time frame: During ESWL procedure). 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 NCT01998217, 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 4 Feb 2015.
