About this study

Official title: Effect of Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion on Long Term Postoperative Pain After Spinal Fusion Surgery

Spinal fusion is a painful surgery, and control of postoperative pain is difficult. Several studies have indicated that appropriate pain treatment protocols reduce postoperative morbidity, improve the results of the surgery, and decrease hospital costs

Read the detailed description

Forty four patients were randomly allocated into two groups of equal size to receive either lidocaine infusion (Lidocaine group) or 0.9% sodium chloride infusion (Control group).

Randomization: was performed using Lidocaine group and Control group registers, which was placed in sealed envelopes prior to study initiation and opened prior to anesthesia by a physician who prepared the intravenous solution and identified it with the patient number, according to the envelope drawn. The solution was handed to another physician, blind to the prepared solutions' content, who was responsible for the anesthesia. The solution volume was equal. The responsible investigator was remained blind to the chosen group until the end of the study.

Being tested
Lidocaine, 0.9% Sodium-chloride

What participants receive

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

  • LidocaineDrug

    Also called Xylocaine

    patients (n = 20) will receive a loading dose of lidocaine 2 mg ̸ kg slowly IV just before induction of anesthesia, then the lidocaine infusion started at a rate of 3 mg ̸ kg/h, and continued until the end of the operation.

  • 0.9% Sodium-chlorideDrug

    Also called Normal saline

    patients (n = 20) will receive an equal volume of 0.9% saline (both the loading and the infusion), the infusion will be initiated at the time of induction of anesthesia and continued until the end of the operation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lidocaine and 0.9% Sodium-chloride in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Abdelrady S Ibrahim, MD at 1 site in Egypt.

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 27 Nov 2017. 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

numerical rating scale (NRS), pain score. (time frame: Postoperative 3 months). 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 NCT03030560, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Nov 2017.
