About this study

Official title: Comparison of Bupivacaine Peritoneal Infiltration and Intramuscular Diclofenac Versus Bupivacaine Peritoneal Infiltration Alone for Postoperative Pain Relief in Gynecologic Cancer Patients Undergoing Open Surgery

compare the postoperative pain between Bupivacaine peritoneal Infiltration plus immediately postoperative intramuscular Diclofenac and Bupivacaine peritoneal infiltration alone by using visual analogue score (VAS).

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to compare the postoperative pain between Bupivacaine peritoneal Infiltration plus immediately postoperative intramuscular Diclofenac and Bupivacaine peritoneal infiltration alone by using visual analogue score (VAS). The secondary objective is to evaluate the time to first dose and the total amount of morphine requirement after the operation in both groups.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-operative pain relief

    compare the postoperative pain between Bupivacaine peritoneal Infiltration plus immediately postoperative intramuscular Diclofenac and Bupivacaine peritoneal infiltration alone by using visual analogue score(VAS). Score 0-10 .When Score is higher than 5 score ,the pateint will gain the analgesia as opioid.

    Measured: During acute post operation peroid as 24 hours post operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Morphine requirement

    evaluate the time to first dose post operation and the total amount of morphine requirement after the operation in both groups. Score 0-10 .When Score is higher than 5 score ,the pateint will gain the analgesia as opioid.

    Measured: During acute post operation period as 24 hours post operation

Model description
randomized into two groups by simple random. In bupivacaine and diclofenac group (n=70), Twenty ml of bupivacaine was infiltrated into surgical-site peritoneum and diclofenac 75 mg was intramuscularly injected immediately after complete the procedure and the operative field was covered with sterile adhesive wound dressing. In the bupivacaine alone group (n=70), 20 ml of bupivacaine was infiltrated into surgical-site peritoneum before closure and a 3 ml of sterile water was intramuscularly injected immediately after complete the procedure. Intravenous morphine injection was given if the pain score was more than 6 in the first 24 hours. Post-operation; time to first request of pain medication, doses, side effects, and vital signs were recorded. VAS was recorded at 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours post-operation and patients' satisfied score was recorded after 24 hours post-operation.
