Trial summary

Objectives: For major laparoscopic surgery, as with open surgery a multimodal analgesia plan can help control postoperative pain. Placing a wound catheter intraoperatively following colon surgery could optimize the control of acute pain with less consumption of opioids and few adverse effects. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multimodal Analgesia With Interfascial Continuous Wound Infiltration of a Local Anaesthetic vs Intravenous Opioids After Laparoscopic Colon Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objectives: For major laparoscopic surgery, as with open surgery a multimodal analgesia plan can help control postoperative pain. Placing a wound catheter intraoperatively following colon surgery could optimize the control of acute pain with less consumption of opioids and few adverse effects.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, study of 103 patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic colon surgery for cancer in Galdakao-Usansolo Hospital.

Patients were recruited and randomly allocated to wound catheter placement plus standard postoperative analgesia or standard postoperative analgesia alone. A physician from the acute pain management unit monitored all patients for at multiple points over the first 48 hours after surgery. The primary outcome variables were verbal numeric pain scale (NRS) scores and amount of intravenous morphine used via patient controlled infusion.

What participants receive

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

  • 19Gx500-mm Pajunk InfiltraLong® catheterDevice

    Before completing the surgery, the surgical team inserted a 19Gx500-mm Pajunk InfiltraLong® catheter with multiple perforations in the last few centimeters before the tip to allow for local anesthetic administration.

  • morphineDrug

    After the intervention patients had access to intravenous morphine via a patient-controlled analgesia

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRS) after laparoscopic colon surgery using interfascial continuous wound infiltration

    Numerical Rating Pain Scale was used to measure the after-intervention Pain. This scale is widely used and shows good correlation with the Visual Analogue scale, specifically in the case of elderly individuals. Compared to other scales, it has low error rates and high validity. This score was assessed in all the participants.

    Measured: Over the 48 hours after laparoscopic colon surgery

  2. Assessment of intravenous morphine consumption after laparoscopic colon surgery

    Intravenous morphine consumption was administrated via patient-controlled analgesia device. The consumption was evaluated in all participants in the study at the following measurement points: at 30 min, 2h, 8h, 24h, and 48h after the intervention.

    Measured: Over the 48 hours after laparoscopic colon surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Complications related to intravenous morphine consumption

    Complications related to intravenous morphine consumption were measured: nausea, vomiting and pruritus throughout the treatment period. Paralytic ileus awas measured 24h after surgery. This was assessed for all patients. Moreover, especially for patients belonging to the experimental group, potential adverse effects from placement of the wound catheter such as infection or haematoma at the surgical site or potential toxicity of local anesthetic (e.g., tinnitus, obnubilation) were recorded.

    Measured: Over the 48 hours after laparoscopic colon surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 19Gx500-mm Pajunk InfiltraLong® catheter and morphine in people with Pain, run by Hospital Galdakao-Usansolo at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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 22 Aug 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 Spain. 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?

Assessment of Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRS) after laparoscopic colon surgery using interfascial continuous wound infiltration (time frame: Over the 48 hours after laparoscopic colon surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Aug 2014.
