About this study

Official title: Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of the Postoperative Analgesia Methods for Supratentorial Craniotomy by Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI)

An optimal analgesic therapy is very important for postoperative recovery. In recent years, several studies showed that the prevalence of the moderate to severe pain after craniotomy ranged from 69 to 87% of patients. In a previous study, the investigators showed that the use of morphine based patient controlled analgesia prevented moderate to severe postoperative pain in patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy. Morphine related side effects such as sedation, miosis, respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting produce a general reluctance for their use in neurosurgery. Therefore, all patients were closely observed to detect opioid related side effects in the intensive care unit for 24 hours following surgery in the previous study. The Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) is a new tool that calculates respiratory and hemodynamic parameters noninvasively. In the present study the investigators will use different doses of morphine based PCA and the IPI system to determine more effective and safer morphine dose for postoperative analgesia following supratentorial craniotomy.

An optimal analgesic therapy is very important for postoperative recovery. In recent years, several studies showed that the prevalence of the moderate to severe pain after craniotomy ranged from 69 to 87% of patients. In a previous study, the investigators showed that the use of morphine based patient controlled analgesia prevented moderate to severe postoperative pain in patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy. Morphine related side effects such as sedation, miosis, respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting produce a general reluctance for their use in neurosurgery. Therefore, all patients were closely observed to detect opioid related side effects in the intensive care unit for 24 hours following surgery in the previous study. The Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) is a new tool that calculates respiratory and hemodynamic parameters noninvasively. In the present study the investigators will use different doses of morphine based PCA and the IPI system to determine more effective and safer morphine dose for postoperative analgesia following supratentorial craniotomy.

90 patients will randomize in 3 groups following supratentorial craniotomy. All patients will previously instruct on the PCA pumps (Abbott Provider, Chicago, USA) and visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain imaginable. All patients will use PCA for 24 hours following supratentorial craniotomy. In the Group 1 the PCA will set to administer a bolus dose of 1 mg morphine on demand with a lockout period of 10 minutes and maximum 20 mg for 4 hours. In the Group 2 the PCA set to administer a bolus dose of 0.5 mg morphine on demand with a lockout period of 10 minutes and maximum 20 mg for 4 hours. In the Group 3 the PCA will contain placebo. The Group 3 will take 50 mg dexketoprofen in the recovery room. Intra venous injections of dexketoprofen will repeat every 8 hours. If the VAS skore more than 4 the Group 3 patients will take 1 g paracetamol every 6 hours.

All patients will observe by the Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI). It is a new device that provides to recognise in a patients respiratory status. This software tool is a single index value ranging from 1 to 10 based on 4 physiological parameters: end tidal carbon dioxide, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, pulse rate. Patients will asses at 10th minute, 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. Sedation will evaluate according to Ramsay score. VAS scores, total morphine consumption, Ramsay score, blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate, the IPI score will record at each time pain will evaluate. Postoperative side effects, including rash, pruritus, nausea and vomiting will record at the same intervals and defined by a scale with 0 = absent or 1 = present. Moreover the lowest IPI score, the apnea count (longer than 30 seconds) and the count of the desaturation events will record in the postoperative 24 hours.

The 3 Groups will compare with respect to VAS scores, morphine consumption, IPI scores, the apnea count, the desaturation events and morphine related side effects during the 24 hours following supratentorial craniotomy.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ozlem Korkmaz Dilmen, MD (+902124143435, korkmazdilmen@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) (time frame: Change from Beseline IPI values in postoperative first 24 hours.(at 10th minute, 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours post dose)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02929147, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 Oct 2016.
