Trial summary

Acute pain is the result of activating nociceptive pathways in both the peripheral and central nervous system. The origin of most acute pain from surgical stimulation is the mechanical trauma of the local tissue and the subsequent acute inflammatory response. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomised Controlled Trial - Multimodal Analgesia in Inguinal Hernia Repair Using a Cyclooxygenase-2-specific Inhibitor: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Acute pain is the result of activating nociceptive pathways in both the peripheral and central nervous system. The origin of most acute pain from surgical stimulation is the mechanical trauma of the local tissue and the subsequent acute inflammatory response.

No studies have investigated the combined use of anti-inflammatory analgesics with spinal anaesthesia/analgesia for pre, intra and postoperative multimodal pain protection in patients undergoing day-case IHR. The aim of the investigators study is therefore to assess the efficacy of preoperative combined administration of etoricoxib and standard spinal anaesthesia in the reduction of postoperative pain following IHR.

Read the detailed description

Acute pain is the result of activating nociceptive pathways in both the peripheral and central nervous system. The origin of most acute pain from surgical stimulation is the mechanical trauma of the local tissue and the subsequent acute inflammatory response. Open inguinal hernia repair is one of the commonest surgical procedures which may provoke pain of variable intensity and duration.

Etoricoxib (Arcoxia®) is a NSAID with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties mainly achieved via selective peripheral COX-2 inhibition. Spinal anaesthesia using local anaesthetics combined with opioids affects the transmission, modulation and modification stages of nociceptive afferent impulses and its analgesic qualities are superior to local anaesthesia alone.

No studies have investigated the combined use of anti-inflammatory analgesics with spinal anaesthesia/analgesia for pre, intra and postoperative multimodal pain protection in patients undergoing day-case IHR. The aim of the investigators study is therefore to assess the efficacy of preoperative combined administration of etoricoxib and standard spinal anaesthesia in the reduction of postoperative pain following IHR.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Etoricoxib in people with Adverse Anesthesia Outcome, run by Bnai Zion Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 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 31 Aug 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 Israel. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Pain VAS Score (time frame: Each four hours until 24 hours). 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 31 Aug 2016.
