Trial summary

More than 230 million surgical operations are been realized all over the world every year. A surgical intervention can cause postoperative acute pain. The management of postoperative acute pain is multimodal and the use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is often a part of this Pain-Management. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Medico-economic Evaluation of Sublingual PCA (Zalviso) Versus Oxycodone-PCA in the Management of Postoperative Pain. ''MEZO''

More than 230 million surgical operations are been realized all over the world every year. A surgical intervention can cause postoperative acute pain. The management of postoperative acute pain is multimodal and the use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is often a part of this Pain-Management.

Intravenous PCA has established itself as a therapeutic concept and constitutes the reference treatment for the management of postoperative acute pain for the first 48 hours. The PCA offers patients autonomy in managing their pain with the intravenous delivery of morphine on demand.

Since 2017 PCA Zalviso is marketed. It allows the sublingual administration of sufentanil and it does not require venous access. It seems interesting to allow the early rehabilitation of patients who are no longer limited in their movements by an infusion. However, its acquisition cost appears to be higher than that of the intravenous PCA. In order to verify this hypothesis, the investigators propose to compare the set of costs associated with the use of sublingual PCA with those of intravenous PCA in the management of acute postoperative pain (less than 72 hours) in the context of patients benefiting from the placement of a total knee arthroplasty.

What is being measured

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

  1. Costs of each Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA)

    Comparison of costs associated with the use of sublingual PCA to those of intravenous PCA

    Measured: until 72 hours after knee arthroplasty

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Length of hospitalization

    Length of hospitalization

    Measured: until 72 hours after knee arthroplasty

  2. Efficiency of acute postoperative pain management

    Pain intensity is measured with numeric score (scale 0 to 10) (10 is the highest pain intensity; 0 is the score for the absence of pain).

    Measured: until 72 hours after knee arthroplasty

  3. Global satisfaction of the patient

    Global satisfaction of the patient is measured with " Echelle Visuelle Analogique" EVA score (scale 0 to 10; score 0= no pain; score 10 = pain with the highest intensity)

    Measured: until 72 hours after knee arthroplasty

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Analgesia, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 10 May 2023. 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 France. 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?

Costs of each Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) (time frame: until 72 hours after knee arthroplasty). 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 10 May 2023.
