About this study

Official title: A Predictive Model for Pain After Transarterial Chemoembolization

The main aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors that helped to predict the pain after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).This was a prospective observational study enrolled all hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing TACE in our hospital. Pain score at rest was assessed after TACE by the patients themselves using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Independent variables such as age, gender, tumor location, tumor size and number, drug delivery method and presence of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) were recorded and analyzed.

Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    After local anesthesia with an injection of 10 mL of 2% lidocaine, all the patients enrolled in this study received percutaneous femoral artery puncture. An arterial catheter was inserted into the femoral artery and subsequently placed in the hepatic artery. Then, a conventional TACE or a DEB-TACE procedure was performed. After TACE, all patients received supportive treatment including antiemetics, liver protection, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

    Measured: 0 hour after TACE by the patients themselves using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  2. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    After local anesthesia with an injection of 10 mL of 2% lidocaine, all the patients enrolled in this study received percutaneous femoral artery puncture. An arterial catheter was inserted into the femoral artery and subsequently placed in the hepatic artery. Then, a conventional TACE or a DEB-TACE procedure was performed. After TACE, all patients received supportive treatment including antiemetics, liver protection, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

    Measured: 2 hour after TACE by the patients themselves using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  3. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    After local anesthesia with an injection of 10 mL of 2% lidocaine, all the patients enrolled in this study received percutaneous femoral artery puncture. An arterial catheter was inserted into the femoral artery and subsequently placed in the hepatic artery. Then, a conventional TACE or a DEB-TACE procedure was performed. After TACE, all patients received supportive treatment including antiemetics, liver protection, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

    Measured: 4 hour after TACE by the patients themselves using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  4. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    After local anesthesia with an injection of 10 mL of 2% lidocaine, all the patients enrolled in this study received percutaneous femoral artery puncture. An arterial catheter was inserted into the femoral artery and subsequently placed in the hepatic artery. Then, a conventional TACE or a DEB-TACE procedure was performed. After TACE, all patients received supportive treatment including antiemetics, liver protection, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

    Measured: 6 hour after TACE by the patients themselves using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  5. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    After local anesthesia with an injection of 10 mL of 2% lidocaine, all the patients enrolled in this study received percutaneous femoral artery puncture. An arterial catheter was inserted into the femoral artery and subsequently placed in the hepatic artery. Then, a conventional TACE or a DEB-TACE procedure was performed. After TACE, all patients received supportive treatment including antiemetics, liver protection, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

    Measured: 12 hour after TACE by the patients themselves using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  6. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    After local anesthesia with an injection of 10 mL of 2% lidocaine, all the patients enrolled in this study received percutaneous femoral artery puncture. An arterial catheter was inserted into the femoral artery and subsequently placed in the hepatic artery. Then, a conventional TACE or a DEB-TACE procedure was performed. After TACE, all patients received supportive treatment including antiemetics, liver protection, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

    Measured: 24 hour after TACE by the patients themselves using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital 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 1 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 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 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?

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (time frame: 0 hour after TACE by the patients themselves using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)). The study lists 6 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 19 Sep 2022.
