About this study

To compare the anti-hyperalgesia effect between S-ketamine with placebo for Maternal receiving elective Cesarean Section under Combined spinal and epidural analgesia.

Based on this study the investigators intend to verify the role and potential mechanism of S-ketamine combined anesthesia in alleviating hyperalgesia after cesarean section, prove that it can reduce hyperalgesia and postoperative pain. explore the role of S-ketamine in alleviating postoperative hyperalgesia in different PCA ways and explore the safety of S-ketamine in the perilactation

What participants receive

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

  • S-ketamineDrug

    Also called Patient controlled analgesia

    S-ketamine or placebo were given to the fetus after delivery Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia or patient-controlled epidural analgesia were administered postoperatively

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum pain score (NRS socre) at 0-24 hours postoperatively

    NRS score: Pain was assessed on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being most painful

    Measured: From ending of the surgery to 24 hours postoperatively

  2. Pain score (NRS socre) at 0-6 hours postoperatively

    NRS score: Pain was assessed on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being most painful

    Measured: From ending of the surgery to 6 hours postoperatively

  3. Pain score (NRS socre) at 6-12 hours postoperatively

    NRS score: Pain was assessed on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being most painful

    Measured: From 6 hours postoperatively to 12 hours postoperatively

  4. Pain score (NRS socre) at 12-24 hours postoperatively

    NRS score: Pain was assessed on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being most painful

    Measured: From 12 hours postoperatively to 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The number of patient controlled analgesia pump pressed

    When the patients felt pain, the patient controlled analgesia pump can be pressed once

    Measured: 0-48 hours postoperatively

  2. Patient controlled analgesia pump analgesic consumption

    The amount of the analgesic consumption

    Measured: 0-48 hours postoperatively

  3. Pressure pain threshold at 30min after surgery

    Pressure pain threshold was measured using pressure manometer in the forearm of dominant hand reported by kg/cm2

    Measured: Change from baseline to 30 minutes postoperatively

  4. Pressure pain threshold at 24 hours after surgery

    Pressure pain threshold was measured using pressure manometer in the forearm of dominant hand reported by kg/cm2

    Measured: Change from baseline to 30 min postoperatively

  5. Pressure pain tolerance at 30min hours after surgery

    Pressure pain tolerance was measured using pressure manometer in the forearm of dominant hand reported by kg/cm2

    Measured: Change from baseline to 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing S-ketamine in people with Postoperative Pain, run by The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 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 China. 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?

Maximum pain score (NRS socre) at 0-24 hours postoperatively (time frame: From ending of the surgery to 24 hours postoperatively). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05414006, 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 24 Feb 2023.
