Trial summary

The prevalence of pain in the emergency department is estimated between 60% and 78%. However, many studies reported oligo analgesia in about half of patient admitted to the emergency department. The delay before effective analgesia is one of the main causes of oligoanalgesia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multimodal Oral Analgesia for Trauma in the Emergency Department: a Prospective Observational Study of a Nurse-directed Protocol

The prevalence of pain in the emergency department is estimated between 60% and 78%. However, many studies reported oligo analgesia in about half of patient admitted to the emergency department. The delay before effective analgesia is one of the main causes of oligoanalgesia. The use of nurse-directed protocol allows the administration of analgesic upon admission to the emergency department. Nevertheless the need of intravenous access may delay analgesia. The use of oral form analgesics even with immediate release does not allow effective analgesia before 20 min. Pain management protocol in the emergency reception desk of CHU Grenoble Alpes (CHUGA) includes paracetamol that can be combined with oxycodone tablets depending on the pain intensity. For any mono traumatized it is possible to associate self-administer methoxyflurane inhaler. The pain management protocol is already used in the emergency reception desk of CHU Grenoble Alpes.The different analgesics( paracetamol,oral oxycodone, methoxyflurane) are already administered as part of routine care.The use of these different analgesics means would allow a rapid and adapted effectiveness to the pain intensity. However, there are no data on the efficacy and acceptability of such an early multimodal analgesia protocol in the emergency department.

Read the detailed description

200 Patients will be included from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and will receive a multimodal analgesia under the nurse-directed pain management protocol (paracetamol +/- oral oxycodone +/- methoxyflurane) as part of routine medical care.

The pain will be evaluated (Numerical rating scale) prior to the administration and reassessed by a nurse every 5 minutes for 30 minutes and then at 45min and 1 hour after administration of the pain protocol. Satisfaction of patients and caregivers will also be assessed at the end of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with a score of less than or equal to 3 on a pain Numeric Rating scale (NRS) (0-10) 15 minutes after inclusion

    NRS scale (0-10)

    Measured: 15 minutes after inclusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Secondary efficacy criteria

    Delay of pain relief defined by a 2 point reduction in the NRS scale (0-10)

    Measured: 15, 30 and 45 min (after inclusion)

  2. Number of patient with 30% reduction in pain intensity

    NRS scale (0-10)

    Measured: 15,30 and 45 min (after inclusion)

  3. Satisfaction of caregiver and patient

    Patient and caregiver satisfaction evaluated by a visual analog scale (VAS), covering the whole range of analgesic management and in particular each component of multimodal analgesia. The VAS scale ranges are : (not at all satisfied I will not take again - quite satisfied i will take again) for the patient and (not at all satisfied i will not give again - quite satisfied i will give again) for the caregiver

    Measured: 1h after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pain, run by University Hospital, Grenoble 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 4 inclusion and 16 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 3 Aug 2018. 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?

Proportion of patients with a score of less than or equal to 3 on a pain Numeric Rating scale (NRS) (0-10) 15 minutes after inclusion (time frame: 15 minutes after inclusion). 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 NCT03380247, 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 3 Aug 2018.
