Trial summary

The addition of morphine to a local anesthetic when performing an epidural analgesia during labor analgesia has improved the efficiency and the action duration of analgesia. One limitation of this technique is the time of installation of the analgesic effect (about 30 minutes) when using the only epidural. Read more about this study

About this study

The addition of morphine to a local anesthetic when performing an epidural analgesia during labor analgesia has improved the efficiency and the action duration of analgesia. One limitation of this technique is the time of installation of the analgesic effect (about 30 minutes) when using the only epidural. Therefore, the technique of sequential combined spinal epidural was introduced. This is to shorten the installation time by direct injection into the cerebrospinal fluid. This allows a good efficiency in less than 10 minutes. It has been shown that low doses of sufentanil (strong opioid) in spinal anesthesia could potentiate the effect of the local anesthetic.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing experimental group : sequential combined spinal epidural with local anesthetic injection (chirocaine) associated with morphine (sufentanil). in people with Pregnant Women, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 9 Jan 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 France. 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?

Visual analog pain scale (time frame: after 5 minutes). 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 9 Jan 2018.
