About this study

Official title: Bupivacaine Application Reduces Postthyroidectomy Pain: Cerrahpaşa Experience

Investigators aimed to evaluate the impact of bupivacaine administration into the surgical field after total thyroidectomy on post-operative pain and analgesic requirement with a double-blind, prospective, clinical, randomized study.

Pain assessment was performed with the visual analog score (VAS). Participants were pre-operatively, divided into two groups randomly to receive either bupivacaine or not. One group received a 10 ml of bupivacaine solution while the other group was treated with the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) through the drain after completion of total thyroidectomy procedure. All participants were anesthetized and operated with the same anesthesia and surgical team.

Being tested
Thyroidectomy, Bupivacaine, Saline Solution

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Post-operative pain in 8 hours after surgery using VAS (time frame: 8th hour). 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 2 Dec 2016.
