About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Duration of Ropivacaine Combined With Dexmedetomidine or Dexamethasone on Paravertebral Block in Patients Undergoing Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery

This study was a prospective, randomized, controlled, and double-blind trial. Major assessments were made during the operation and 48 h postoperatively.

Read the detailed description

The prime outcomes were the time in minutes from leave the postoperative care unit to the first patient-controlled intravenous analgesia press.The secondary outcomes were to compare the following: (1)blood concentrations of ropivacaine was measured at 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 24 h after paravertebral nerve block; and (2) the patient's intraoperative opioid use, phenylephrine use, fluid intake, urine output, dry mouth score, and 24 h and 48 h visual analogue scale.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of thoracic paravertebral block analgesia duration

    The prime outcomes were the time in minutes from leave the postoperative care unit to the first patient-controlled intravenous analgesia press

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 2 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. blood concentrations of ropivacaine

    (The secondary outcomes were to compare the following: (1)blood concentrations of ropivacaine was measured at 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 24 h after paravertebral nerve block; and (2) the patient's intraoperative opioid use, phenylephrine use, fluid intake, urine output, dry mouth score, and 24 h and 48 h visual analogue scale.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 2 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine Group and dexamethasone group in people with Lung Cancer, run by China Medical University, China at 1 site in China.

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 8 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 20 Nov 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Change of thoracic paravertebral block analgesia duration (time frame: Change from Baseline to 2 days after surgery). 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 20 Nov 2019.
