About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Diclofenac and Its Association to the Opioid Codeine for Pain, Swelling and Trismus in the Bilateral Mandibular Third Molar Extraction With a High Degree of Difficulty Model.

It will be evaluated the clinical efficacy of Diclofenac 50mg (NSAID) compared to its association with Codeine 50mg (opioid) administered in 50 patients requiring extraction of two third molars. After assessing the research parameters, a comparative data analysis, along with the proper application of statistical tests, will provide the basis for an evaluation of both efficiency medications used.

Read the detailed description

This research will evaluate the clinical efficacy of Diclofenac 50mg (NSAID) compared to its association with Codeine 50mg (opioid) administered in 50 patients aged less than 18 and requiring extraction of two third molars (with very similar positions, whose degree of difficulty is high). It will be assessed the following parameters: 1) onset and duration of surgery after administration of local anesthetic, 2) open mouth prior to surgery, on the 2nd day after the operation and on the 7th day after surgery (removal points), 3) subjective assessment of pain using a visual analog scale, 4) measurement of facial edema in the second day after the operation and on the 7th day after surgery (as compared with the measurements obtained before surgery) and 5) the incidence, type and severity of adverse reactions. The analysis comparative data, along with the proper application of statistical tests, provide the basis for an evaluation of both efficiency medications used.

What participants receive

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

  • Codeine + DiclofenacDrug

    Also called Lower third molar surgery, Pain control, NSAID associated with Opioids

    The patients will receive codeine and diclofenac as pain relief medicine after the surgery

  • DiclofenacDrug

    Also called Lower third molar surgery, Pain control, NSAID

    The patients will receive only diclofenac

Study groups in NCT02547896
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pain control using codeine + diclofenacExperimentalFifty healthy volunteers underwent removal of symmetrically positioned lower third molars, receiving for pain relief after the procedure 50mg of codeine + 50mg of diclofenac
Receives: Drug: Codeine + Diclofenac
Pain control using diclofenacExperimentalFifty healthy volunteers underwent removal of symmetrically positioned lower third molars, receiving for pain relief after the procedure 50mg of diclofenac
Receives: Drug: Diclofenac

What is being measured

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

  1. Higher pain control after lower third molar surgeries with codeine + diclofenac

    Reducing pain is measured by visual analogue scale. It is expected that the visual analogue scale (100 mm) presents lower values in patients that underwent surgeries and received the association of codeine + diclofenac compared to whose received only diclofenac. Evaluated periods were 0, 15, 30, 45 min, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours.

    Measured: Seven days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse effects

    Increased reporting of adverse effects during the postoperative period in patients that received codeine + diclofenac assessed by the information contained in the medical records of the patient.

    Measured: Seven days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Codeine + Diclofenac and Diclofenac in people with Impacted Third Molar Tooth, run by University of Sao Paulo.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 11 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Higher pain control after lower third molar surgeries with codeine + diclofenac (time frame: Seven days after surgery). 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 11 Sep 2015.
