The analgesic effect of perioperative use of aripiprazole has not been fully investigated.

So, this study aims to test the effects of aripiprazole versus placebo in reducing postoperative pain following laparoscopic hysterectomy and to explore the potential side effects.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. First time to analgesic requirement

    After extubation, an intravenous patient-controlled analgesia system, will be connected to the patient (Accufuser Plus® 100 ml, Woo Young Medical Co, Korea) will be prepared with 60 ml normal saline containing 60 mg morphine, it will be programmed to give and 0.5 ml bolus dose with lockout interval of 8 minutes. Time to first Bolus will be estimated considering extubation time is the zero time.

    Measured: First 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Total opioid consumption

    Total morphine consumption per twenty four hours will be estimated

    Measured: First 24 hours postoperatively

  2. Visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Pain scores will be evaluated by a blinded observer anesthesiologist at the time of arrival in the PACU, and 10, 20, 30 minutes, 1 h, 2h, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24 hr thereafter using visual analogue scale (VAS) (0-10 cm: 0 = no pain, 10 = the worst pain possible). The patients will be instructed about usage of VAS preoperatively

    Measured: First 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ARIPiprazole 30 MG in people with Anesthesia and Analgesia, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 10 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 6 Feb 2023. 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

First time to analgesic requirement (time frame: First 24 hours postoperatively). 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 NCT05103410, 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 6 Feb 2023.
