What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum pain score (NRS score) 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 score) 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 score) 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 score) 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 (2)
  1. Patient controlled analgesia pump analgesic consumption

    Analgesic requirements was assessed by recording the volume of patient controlled analgesia pump

    Measured: From the time when the surgery was completed until to 24 hours after surgery

  2. Postoperative hyperalgesia after surgery

    Postoperative hyperalgesia was measured by the ratio of pressure pain threshold at time when discharged from postanesthesia care unit compare to before surgery

    Measured: from the 30 minutes before the surgery until to 30 minutes after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Wear noise-cancelling earphones 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 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 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. 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?

Maximum pain score (NRS score) 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?
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 29 Mar 2023.
