About this study

Official title: Effect of Menstrual Cyclus Phases of Menstrual Cyclus Phases and Postoperative Pain in Patients With Gynecological Laparoscopy

The hypothesis that gonadal hormones may affect the perception of pain is an interesting research area.

This prospective observational study will undergo elective laparoscopic gynecological surgery to 18-65 years, is planned to participate in ASA 1-3, 60 volunteer patients.

Read more

Patients who have known psychiatric disease and drug-users, an important cardiovascular or central nervous system disease, patients with pain syndromes or routinely using opioid, are non-irregular and predictable cycles of menstrual cycles and very urgent patients will not be included in the study.

In our study, we aimed to determine the relationship between menstrual cyclus phases (follicular and luteal) of menstrual cyclus phases (follicular and luteal) in patients to undergo gynecological laparoscopic operation and the relationship between postoperative pain and opioid analgesic consumption.

Read the detailed description

This prospective observational study is planned to include 60 volunteer patients aged 18-45, ASA 1-3, undergoing elective laparoscopic gynecological surgery. With the information to be obtained from the patients whose menstrual cycle regularly lasts 21-35 days, the cycle duration will be determined by counting from the first day of the last mens period. Days 6-12 of the cycle will be grouped as follicular (F), and 20-24 as luteal (L). No surgery will be planned during the mens period (1-5 days). Patients will be excluded on days 13-19 of the cycle to better define the two stages.

Remaining 3 ml of blood from routine venous blood samples taken from patients for preoperative evaluation will be stored to investigate μ-Opioid receptor levels. A continuous 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS) will be used to determine the level of postoperative pain.

Researchers who will make postoperative evaluations will be blind to menstrual cycles.

The sensation of pain will be assessed every 10 minutes in the recovery room, intervening with a bolus of 10 mg iv tramadol for a pain score of 3 to 5 and a bolus of 20 mg for a pain score of more than 5. If the VAS does not drop below 3 after two additional tramadol boluses, rescue analgesia will be provided with 2 mg iv morphine.

Patients will be followed in the ward and observations will be made at 6, 12 and 24 hours.

Patients will be asked to evaluate their resting and coughing pains.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gynecological; Surgery (Previous), Affecting Fetus and Postoperative Pain, run by Bozok University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 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 20 Apr 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Difference between mu opioid receptor levels in menstrual cycle phases (time frame: 6 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 NCT04690491, 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 20 Apr 2021.
