About this study

Official title: The Effective Maneuver to Reduce Shoulder Pain After Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery: Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this clinical trial is to estimate the efficacy and safety of combined intervention with the intra-peritoneal normal saline instillation and pulmonary recruitment maneuver for reducing post-laparoscopic shoulder pain.

Read the detailed description

Shoulder pain after laparoscopy is common and its probable mechanism is residual carbon dioxide gas after surgery. Both the intra-peritoneal normal saline instillation and pulmonary recruitment maneuver could effectively reduce post-laparoscopic shoulder pain. However, the efficacy and safety of combined intervention with normal saline instillation and pulmonary recruitment maneuver have not been investigated yet. The aim of this clinical trial is to estimate the effectiveness of combined intervention with the intra-peritoneal normal saline instillation and pulmonary recruitment maneuver for reducing post-laparoscopic shoulder pain.

Being tested
Passive Deflation, Normal Saline Instillation, Normal Saline Instillation + Pulmonary Recruitment
Medical subject headings
Genital Diseases, Female

What participants receive

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

  • Passive DeflationProcedure or surgery

    In the control group, residual carbon dioxide gas was evacuated by the routine method using passive exsufflation through the port site at the end of surgery.

  • Normal Saline InstillationProcedure or surgery

    In the normal saline instillation group, in addition to the routine method, the patients were placed in the Trendelenburg position (30°), isotonic normal saline (20 ml/kg of body weight) was infused in the sub-diaphragmatic region at the end of surgery.

  • Normal Saline Instillation + Pulmonary RecruitmentProcedure or surgery

    In the combined intervention group, in addition to the routine method, the patients were placed in the Trendelenburg position (30°), and a pulmonary recruitment maneuver was performed after instillation of isotonic normal saline (20 ml/kg of body weight) in the sub-diaphragmatic region at the end of surgery.

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

    Measured: after two day of procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Wound pain evaluated by 10 point visual analogue scale

    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 study testing Passive Deflation, Normal Saline Instillation and Normal Saline Instillation + Pulmonary Recruitment 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 11 May 2018. 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.

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 evaluated by 10 point visual analogue scale (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 11 May 2018.
