About this study

Official title: The Influence of the Menstrual Cycle on Acute and Persistent Pain After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Fluctuations of female sex hormones during the menstrual cycle influence pain perception. Endogenous pain is pronounced in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. The investigators tested the primary hypothesis that the women having surgery during their follicular phase have more acute pain and require more opioids than those in the luteal phase, and secondarily the investigators tested that women who have surgery during their follicular phase have more incisional pain at 3 month postoperatively.

Read the detailed description

127 adult females having laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized to have surgery during the luteal or follicular phase of their menstrual cycle. Standardized anesthesia and pain management regimen was given to all patients. Pain and analgesic consumption were evaluated in PACU and every four hours in first 24 hours. Adverse effects were also questioned every four hours. Time to oral intake and ambulation were recorded. Post-surgical pain, hospital anxiety and depression scale, and SF-12 questionnaire were also evaluated at 1- and 3-month visits.

What participants receive

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

  • HAD scaleOther

    Also called The anxiety/depression scale

    The anxiety/depression scale (HAD) was used to assess anxiety and depression.

  • The SF 12 testOther

    Also called SHORT FORM 12

    The SF 12 test (SHORT FORM 12) was used to evaluate quality of life.

  • Visual analogue scoreOther

    Also called VAS score

    Visual analogue score vas used to evaluate pain.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing HAD scale, The SF 12 test and Visual analogue score in people with Acute Postoperative Pain and Chronic Postoperative Pain, run by Aydin Adnan Menderes 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 6 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 13 May 2014. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Persistent surgical pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy assessed by VAS scale (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT02137135, 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 13 May 2014.
