About this study

Official title: Effects of Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI)-Guided Intraoperative Analgesia on Postoperative Pain: a Randomized Controlled Study

This study evaluates the effects of Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI)-guided intraoperative analgesia on postoperative pain in patients undergoing open gynecologic surgery.

Read the detailed description

Postoperative pain is one of the most common postoperative complications and is significantly associated with patient's quality of recovery. Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) is known to analyze the high frequency component of heart rate variability in relation to respiratory frequency, providing the objective information on the degree of pain. However, most previous studies conducted by using ANI were observational studies or small-sized randomized controlled studies. In the present study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of ANI-guided intraoperative analgesia on moderate-to-severe postoperative pain by performing randomized controlled study.

Being tested
ANI-guided intraoperative analgesia, Conventional intraoperative analgesia
Medical subject headings
Pain, Postoperative, Agnosia

What participants receive

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

  • ANI-guided intraoperative analgesiaProcedure or surgery

    Intraoperative analgesia is performed by controlling the effect-site concentration of remifentanil to maintain 50-70 of ANI.

  • Conventional intraoperative analgesiaProcedure or surgery

    Intraoperative analgesia is performed by controlling the effect-site concentration of remifentanil at the discretion of attending anesthesiologists based on hemodynamic parameters.

What is being measured

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

  1. the incidence of moderate-to-severe postoperative pain

    the incidence of moderate-to-severe postoperative pain is defined as a case in which pain with numeric rating scale (NRS) of 5 or more is reported during stays in the postanesthesia care unit. Pain assessment is performed two times during stays in the postanesthesia care unit.

    Measured: during 1 hour of stay in the postanesthesia care unit

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. the amount of intraoperative remifentanil

    the amount of intraoperative remifentanil used during anesthesia

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score

    QoR-15 questionnaire is recorded by an investigator. QoR-15 questionnaire has minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 150, and higher score indicates the better quality of recovery.

    Measured: at postoperative 24 hour

  3. the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting

    the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting is recorded by an investigator

    Measured: at postoperative 1 hour, 24 hour, 72 hour

  4. 11-pointed NRS pain score

    11-pointed NRS pain score is measured at both resting state and movement. 11-pointed NRS pain score has minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 10, and higher score indicates the higher severity of pain.

    Measured: at postoperative 24 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ANI-guided intraoperative analgesia and Conventional intraoperative analgesia in people with Postoperative Pain and Analgesia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 19 Sep 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 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?

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?

the incidence of moderate-to-severe postoperative pain (time frame: during 1 hour of stay in the postanesthesia care unit). 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 19 Sep 2022.
