About this study

Official title: Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation(TEAS) on the Hepatic and Renal Function Impaired by Pneumoperitoneum: a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of TEAS pretreatment and treatment on hepatic and renal dysfunction induced by pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries.

Read the detailed description

Patients were randomly assigned to three groups, control group and two intervention groups, receiving TEAS before and after general anesthesia induction respectively. TEAS was given through electrodes attached to acupoints. The time for TEAS was 30min. Venous blood samples were collected before and 20min after pneumoperitoneum. Hepatic and renal function index including AST, ALT, ALP, BUN, Cr were measured.

Being tested
TEAS pretreatment, TEAS treatment
Keywords

Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • TEAS pretreatmentOther

    Electric stimulation was given through electrode attached to specific acupoints for 30mins before anesthesia induction

  • TEAS treatmentOther

    Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation was given to the patient at the same time of the start of anesthesia induction for 30mins

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2016. 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.

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?

Incidence of renal or hepatic dysfunction (time frame: 20min after pneumoperitoneum). 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 NCT02013596, which also lists 9 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 14 Jan 2016.
