About this study

Official title: A Cohort Study on Association Between Pain Sensitivity by Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire and Postoperative Opioid Requirement

This study aims to investigate the potential association between pain sensitivity questionnaire score, the severity of postoperative pain, and postoperative analgesic requirement in patients with open colorectal cancer surgery. This information may be used to guide the optimal postoperative pain management, and ultimately improve patient's quality of life.

Read the detailed description

We plan to investigate the predictive ability of the PSQ as well as experimental parameters of pain sensitivity using electronic algometer and other known risk factors for postoperative pain in 100 patients scheduled for open colorectal cancer surgery.

The following items are investigated before surgery; Age, sex, level of education, type of surgery, past surgical history, presence of chronic pain, the expected maximal pain score (VAS) after surgery, Pain catastrophizing scale, anxiety scale (HADS-A), Pain sensitivity questionnaire, and pain threshold measured by electronic algometer.

The total opioid consumption is investigated for 24 and 48 hours after surgery. In addition, the severity of postoperative pain is measured by the 11-point VAS at 24 and 48 hours after surgery. Patient satisfaction with postoperative pain control is also investigated at 48 hours after surgery using the 7-point patient's satisfaction scale.

Being tested
Electronic digital pressure algometer, Pain sensitivity questionnaire

What participants receive

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

  • Electronic digital pressure algometerDevice

    Also called electronic digital pressure algometer (FGN-20B, Shimpo, Kyoto, Japan)

    Evaluation of pain threshold using an algometer is conducted one day before surgery.

    The pressure of the plunger of algometer is applied vertically to the patient's right thenar muscle belly at a speed of 10 N/sec by the tester. Then the tester removes the algometer when the patients start to feel pain and record the pressure recorded on the algometer.

  • Pain sensitivity questionnaireDiagnostic test

    Evaluation of pain threshold using the Korean-version pain sensitivity questionnaire is conducted one day before surgery.

Receives: Device: Electronic digital pressure algometer; Diagnostic Test: Pain sensitivity questionnaire

What is being measured

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

  1. Total fentanyl consumption during 24 hours

    postoperative fentanyl consumption (mcg) via IV patient controlled analgesia

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours

  2. Total fentanyl consumption during 48 hours

    postoperative fentanyl consumption (mcg) via IV patient controlled analgesia

    Measured: postoperative 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Postoperative pain score

    11-pointed NRS pain score at resting/coughing/movement NRS (0-10): 0, "no pain"; 10, "worst pain imaginable"

    Measured: postoperative 24, 48 hours

  2. Patient satisfaction for postoperative pain management

    7-pointed likert scale (very satisfied-somewhat satisfied-satisfied-neutral-dissatisfied-somewhat dissatisfied-very dissatisfied)

    Measured: postoperative 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Electronic digital pressure algometer and Pain sensitivity questionnaire in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Seoul National University Hospital.

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 3 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 29 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jintae Kim, MD, PhD (82-2-2072-3295, jintae73@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total fentanyl consumption during 24 hours (time frame: postoperative 24 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.

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 29 Oct 2019.
