About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Sufentanil and Remifentanil as General Anesthetic Adjuvant

The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety between sufentanil and remifentanil as an adjuvant of balanced general anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

The investigators hypothesized that sufentanil would reduce postoperative pain than remifentanil without prolonging recovery times in minor laparoscopic surgery when administered equivalent antinociceptive doses during surgery. Intraoperative opioid administration for equivalent nociception-antinociception balance could be achieved via surgical pleth index (SPI)-guided analgesia. This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety between sufentanil and remifentanil as an adjuvant of balanced anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under SPI-guided opioid administration.

What participants receive

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

  • SufentanilDrug

    Also called Group S

    The infusion rate of sufentanil is adjusted to achieve a surgical pleth index of 20-50 throughout the operative time.

  • RemifentanilDrug

    Also called Group R

    The infusion rate of remifentanil is adjusted to achieve a surgical pleth index of 20-50 throughout the operative time.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative wound pain score

    The pain score is evaluated by 10 point visual analogue scale at post-anesthesia care unit. The visual analogue scale is presented as a 10-cm line with verbal descriptors indicating "no pain" and "pain as bad as it could be". The visual analogue scale ranges from 0 to 10, representing minimum and maximum pain levels, respectively.

    Measured: 10 minutes after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sufentanil and Remifentanil in people with Anesthesia, run by Kangbuk Samsung Hospital 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 4 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 4 Jun 2020. 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?

Postoperative wound pain score (time frame: 10 minutes 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 4 Jun 2020.
