About this study

Official title: Pulmonary Recruitment Maneuver to Reduce Postlaparoscopic Shoulder Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different recruitment maneuvers for reducing postlaparoscopic shoulder pain.

Read the detailed description

Shoulder pain after laparoscopy is common and its probable mechanism is residual CO2 gas after surgery. The pulmonary recruitment maneuver can mechanically remove residual CO2 and reduce pain. In literature, there are two different recruitment maneuvers, which was manual inflation of the lungs with positive pressure ventilation of either 40cmH2O or 60cmH2O at the end of surgery. However, the higher positive pressure may be associated with more chance of barotrauma. Therefore, it is important to determine the lowest effective pressure for reducing postlaparoscopic shoulder pain. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different recruitment maneuvers (40cmH2O or 60cmH2O) for reducing postlaparoscopic shoulder pain.

What participants receive

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

  • 40 cmH2OProcedure or surgery

    The intervention was five manual inflations of the lungs with positive pressure ventilation of 40 cmH2O at the end of surgery.

  • 60 cmH2OProcedure or surgery

    The intervention was five manual inflations of the lungs with positive pressure ventilation of 60 cmH2O at the end of surgery.

  • Passive deflationProcedure or surgery

    In the controls, CO2 was removed by the traditional passive deflation of abdominal cavity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Shoulder pain

    The pain score was evaluated by 10 point visual analogue scale.

    Measured: after two day of procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Wound pain

    The pain score was evaluated by 10 point visual analogue scale.

    Measured: after two day of procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 40 cmH2O, 60 cmH2O and Passive deflation in people with Gynecologic Diseases, run by Kangbuk Samsung Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 1 Dec 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 South Korea. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Shoulder pain (time frame: after two day of procedure). 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 1 Dec 2016.
