About this study

Official title: The Influence of Type of Anesthesia on Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery: Multi-center Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

The investigators designed a multi-center prospective randomized controlled trial to study the influence of the type of anesthesia on postoperative pain after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. Half of the participants will be anesthetized with propofol and remifentanil, while the other half will be anesthetized with sevoflurane and remifentanil during the surgery. The investigators will measure opioid consumption and pain score in the acute postoperative phase.

Read the detailed description

Previous studies showed that patients receiving total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol are associated with less postoperative pain and less opioid consumption compared with inhalation anesthesia. However, some studies showed conflicting results. In colorectal surgery, there are only retrospective studies that showed the analgesic effect of TIVA and inhalation anesthesia. The investigators designed a multi-center prospective randomized controlled trial and hypothesized that TIVA with propofol would be associated with reduced postoperative opioid consumption and less postoperative pain compared with sevoflurane in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called Propofol 2%

    General anesthesia during the laparoscopic colorectal surgery is achieved by using a target-controlled intravenous infusion of propofol.

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Also called Sevoflurane inhalant product

    General anesthesia during the laparoscopic colorectal surgery is achieved by using an inhalation agent (Sevoflurane).

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative 24 h opioid consumption

    Cumulative opioid consumption for pain control 24 hours after the surgery

    Measured: 24 hours after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Postoperative 48 h opioid consumption

    Cumulative opioid consumption for pain control 48 hours after the surgery

    Measured: 48 hours after the surgery

  2. Numerical rating scale (NRS)

    Numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score 24 and 48 hours after the surgery. NRS is an 11-point scale for patient self-reporting of pain; 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: 24 and 48 hours after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Propofol and Sevoflurane in people with Colo-rectal Cancer and Anesthesia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 3 sites 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 1 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 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 24 h opioid consumption (time frame: 24 hours after the surgery). 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 NCT04239794, 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 22 Dec 2023.
