About this study

This study evaluate the adequate dose of mutonpain for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the management of post operative pain. The investigators will randomize patients into three groups to compare the analgesia effects and side effects.

Read the detailed description

Nalbuphine is a FDA approved noncontrolled drug of opioid. And it had been applied for post operative pain for different surgeries, claiming that less nausea and vomiting with the same analgesic effect when comparing with morphine.

However, several studies concerning post pain management usually used nalbuphine 0.15-0.3 mg/kg for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. If the analgesic effect of nalbuphine is similar with morphine, less nalbuphine injection could reduce the side effects of opioid.

The investigators will randomize patients into three groups of different initial nalbuphine dose for post laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgical pain, and set patient control analgesia machine with nalbuphine for further pain management. If the pain or side effects of opioid were intolerable, the investigators will change pain medications into NSAIDs or other adequate medications to comfort the patient.

The primary outcome were numerical rating pain score and consumption of nalbuphine. The secondary outcomes were nausea, vomiting, pruritus and satisfactory score, and if any other medications use.

What is being measured

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

  1. Numerical Rating Pain Scale

    The Numerical Pain Rating Scale is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). The investors will measure the pain score at rest state and upon movement state at post-operative 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours.

    Measured: numerical rating pain scale change at post-operative 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours

  2. consumption of nalbuphine

    The investors will use patient control analgesia machine to calculate the time dependent dose of nalbuphine.

    Measured: Record the opioid dose changes 2 days.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. nausea

    we will go to bed side and have an self-report episode of nausea at 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours post operation

    Measured: the nausea sensation changes at post operation 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours

  2. vomiting

    we will go to bed side and have an self-report episode of vomiting at 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours post operation

    Measured: the vomiting episodes at post operation 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours

  3. satisfactory score by net promoter score

    The net promoter score is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their satisfactory on an ten-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 1 to 10. We will measure the net promoter score at the end of the study

    Measured: 2 days

  4. use of rescue pain medications

    if the patient use other pain medication on request of poor pain control or poor tolerant of the side effects of nalbuphine

    Measured: record if any rescue pain medications at post operation 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2019. 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 Taiwan. 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.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Guan-Yu Chen, MD (88673121101 ext. 7035, kindtaco@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Numerical Rating Pain Scale (time frame: numerical rating pain scale change at post-operative 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
