About this study

Official title: Impact of Nociceptive-Level (NOL) Intraoperative Guided Fentanyl Analgesia Versus Standard Clinical Care (SCC) for Elective Major Abdominal Surgery

Recently, a newly developed index, the Nociceptive Level (NOL) index, was validated and showed superiority over heart rate and blood pressure for recognition and grading of intense and mild nociceptive stimuli during surgery under general anesthesia.

We hypothesize that compared with standard management, NOL-guided anesthesia will lead to reduced postoperative pain scores, and during anesthesia, to increased hemodynamic stability.

Read the detailed description

Uncontrolled postoperative pain may result in significant clinical, psychological, and socioeconomics consequences. Not only does inadequate pain management following surgery result in increased morbidity and mortality but it also may delay recovery, result in unanticipated readmissions, decrease patient satisfaction, and lead to chronic persistent postsurgical pain. Pain is multifactorial in nature and understanding both the complexity of pain and its side effects is imperative to achieve a successful surgical outcome.

Nociception/analgesia are currently assessed by monitoring changes in heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and other indirect parameters which are not sensitive or specific to nociception. As a result, the patient may be given insufficient analgesia which can promote postoperative pain, or excessive analgesia which can result in overdosing and related complications.

What participants receive

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

  • PMD-200Device

    The PMD-200 system is comprised of a console and designated finger probe with 4 sensors. The Sensors are Photoplethysmography (PPG) Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Accelerometer (ACC) and Thermistor (TMP)

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain score

    Change in pain score in the PACU using the visual analog scale (VAS)

    Measured: Through study completion, about 8 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Inadequate analgesia/anesthesia events

    Change in frequency of Inadequate analgesia/anesthesia events*

    Measured: Through study completion, about 8 months

  2. Total intraoperative fentanyl

    Change in total intraoperative fentanyl consumption (in mcg).

    Measured: Through study completion, about 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PMD-200 in people with Anesthesia, run by Medasense Biometrics Ltd at 1 site in Israel.

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 10 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 1 Feb 2022. 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 Israel. 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?

Pain score (time frame: Through study completion, about 8 months). 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 NCT03970291, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Feb 2022.
