About this study

Official title: Can we Predict Postoperative Analgesic Requirement by Intraoperative Nociception?

If the individual patient's pain is assessed and the amount of analgesic needed after surgery is predicted, appropriate injection of pain control and excessive injection of narcotic analgesic can be prevented. Therefore, investigators try to evaluate the degree of pain during surgery and the amount of analgesic use for management of postoperative pain.

Read the detailed description

Post-operative pain not only alleviates patient discomfort, but also delays recovery and thus prolongs the hospital stay. There are many ways to control postoperative pain, but analgesic infusion through venous route, patient controlled analgesia (PCA), especially narcotic analgesics, is often used to control the infusion when needed. However, because PCA is based on only age, weight, and underlying diseases, there are limitations in effective analgesia, and excessive sedation due to excessive infusion. Therefore, if the individual patient's pain is assessed and the amount of analgesic needed after surgery is predicted, appropriate injection of pain control and excessive injection of narcotic analgesic can be prevented. The noxious stimuli during surgery may have a negative effect on the healing process and surgical outcome of the wound due to stress reaction and catabolism, secretion of pituitary hormone, activation of the sympathetic nervous system, and immunological changes. Therefore, proper analgesia is needed during general anesthesia. A non-invasive, non-invasive analgesic device is currently available for Surgical pleth index (SPI) to assess the status of intraoperative analgesia. SPI = 100- (0.3 * heart beat interval + 0.7 * photoplethysmographic pulse wave amplitude) is automatically and continuously calculated from the waveform of peripheral oxygen saturation.

In the postoperative pain prediction study with SPI, the SPI value at the end of the operation was found to be proportional to the pain in the recovery room. However, only the pain score immediately after the operation was confirmed in these studies. Therefore, investigators try to evaluate the degree of pain during surgery and the amount of analgesic use for management of postoperative pain.

What is being measured

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

  1. The correlation of requirement of postoperative analgesics for postoperative 24 hours and intraoperative nociception score

    The consumption of patient controlled analgesia and intraoperative surgical pleth index score

    Measured: intraoperative nociception score: 3 minutes during closure peritoneum and skin; requirement of postoperative analgesics: the first 24 hour in postoperative phase

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The correlation of requirement of postoperative analgesics for postoperative 6 hours and intraoperative nociception score

    The consumption of patient controlled analgesia and intraoperative surgical pleth index score

    Measured: intraoperative nociception score: 3 minutes during closure peritoneum and skin; requirement of postoperative analgesics: the first 6 hour in postoperative phase

  2. The correlation of requirement of postoperative analgesics for postoperative 48 hours and intraoperative nociception score

    The consumption of patient controlled analgesia and intraoperative surgical pleth index score

    Measured: intraoperative nociception score: 3 minutes during closure peritoneum and skin; requirement of postoperative analgesics: the first 48 hour in postoperative phase

  3. The correlation of postoperative pain score and intraoperative nociception score

    The postoperative pain score (numeric rating pain score, no pain=0~ worst pain=10)and intraoperative surgical pleth index score

    Measured: awaken after general anesthesia in post-anesthesia care unit , postoperative 6, 24, 48 hours

  4. The side effects of analgesics

    nausea/vomiting, sedation, itching, respiratory depression

    Measured: awaken after general anesthesia in post-anesthesia care unit , postoperative 6, 24, 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing surgical pleth index in people with Pain, Postoperative and Nociceptive Pain, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 26 Oct 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 South Korea. 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?

The correlation of requirement of postoperative analgesics for postoperative 24 hours and intraoperative nociception score (time frame: intraoperative nociception score: 3 minutes during closure peritoneum and skin; requirement of postoperative analgesics: the first 24 hour in postoperative phase). 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 NCT03585088, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 26 Oct 2018.
