About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Intrathecally Administered Magnesium Sulfate Added to Morphine and Local Anesthetics for Major Abdominal Cancer Surgery

Magnesium sulfate safety profile has been documented by histopathological analysis in experimental studies. magnesium sulfate added to local anesthetics decrease postoperative opioid requirements.

Read the detailed description

Spinal anesthesia is commonly used for the major abdominal cancer surgery because of decreasing the risks of general anesthesia.The quality and duration of sensory and motor block and decrease post operative pain is important in the major abdominal cancer surgery and patient's content satisfaction. Opioids in high doses and other drug such as clonidine and neostigmine added to local anesthetics to this purpose, but significant side effects.

Magnesium sulfate block the N- methyle -D- aspartate (NMDA) channels in a voltage-dependent way to be improve the quality and duration of spinal block. However, the use of magnesium sulfate safety profile has been documented by histopathological analysis in experimental studies. Systemic delivery of magnesium sulfate decrease postoperative opioid requirements. In experimental studies, spinal injection of magnesium sulfate reduces the respond to painful stimulus in rats.

What participants receive

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

  • intrathecal morphine+LAProcedure or surgery

    Lumbar puncture will be performed in the sitting position. A 25 gauge (pencil point, Braun, Melsungen, Germany) spinal needle will be introduced into the subarachnoid space at the L3-L4 lumber level midline approach with the needle orifice cephalad. Cerebrospinal fluid will be aspirated and the ready mixture will be injected to subarachnoid space over the period of 15 s, with barbotage. patients will receive intrathecal LA 15 mg (3 mL) (hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5%) intrathecal with 0.5 mg preservative free morphine + magnesium sulfate 100 mg.

What is being measured

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

  1. change pain sensation using VAS scores

    pain sensation using VAS scores with movement (0-10) 0=no pain 10=worst pain ever

    Measured: at 0, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 hours post operative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change in MAP

    Mean arterial pressure

    Measured: at 0, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 hours post operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intrathecal morphine+LA, intrathecal morphine+LA+ Mg sulp. 50 and intrathecal morphine+LA+ Mg sulp. 100 in people with Abdominal Cancer and Abdominal Pain, run by South Egypt Cancer Institute 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2019. 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. 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?

change pain sensation using VAS scores (time frame: at 0, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48 hours post operative). 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 13 Dec 2019.
