About this study

Different pain assessment methods have been proposed to evaluate analgesic efficacy after surgical operation. Pain is a subjective phenomenon. Patient did his pain self assessment. But, cooperation of the patient is limited by cultural differences, language barriers or residual effect of products used while general anesthesia.

A lot of study were conducted to demonstrate and to quantify the pain after an operation. The aim will be dose analgesic treatment better without cooperation of the patient.

This sudy concerns patients on the post anesthesia care units one hour after their arrival. They will have electrocardiogram and video-pupillometer.

Read the detailed description

Primary objective is to compare Variation Coefficient of Pupillary Diameter (VCPD) obtained during a light flash and pain assessment realized thanks to Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Too, Variation Coefficient of Pupillary Diameter (VCPD) with electrocardiogram will be measured to demonstrate a correlation between the three parameters.

Being tested
Video-pupillometer, Electrocardiogram

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation between pupillary diameter (PD) and pain assessment

    Correlation between pupillary diameter (PD) and pain in the post-operative period.

    PD will be measured by video-pupillometer. Pain will be measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

    Measured: 1 hour post surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation between pupillary diameter (PD) and heart rate

    Correlation between pupillary diameter (PD) and heart rate in the post-operative period.

    Heart rate will be measured by electrocardiogram.

    Measured: 1 hour post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Video-pupillometer and Electrocardiogram in people with Anesthesia, General, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 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 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.

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?

Correlation between pupillary diameter (PD) and pain assessment (time frame: 1 hour post surgery). 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 NCT03267979, 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 31 Aug 2017.
