About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Intrathecal Morphine at Two Different Doses in Thoracoscopic Lung Resection

Thoracic surgery is one of the surgeries where postoperative pain is intense. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the efficacy of two different intrathecal morphine doses administered for postoperative analgesia according to patients' ideal body weight.

Read the detailed description

Patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery were divided into two groups: 10 mcg/kg and 7 mcg/kg intrathecal morphine for postoperative analgesia. Intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamic variables, postoperative morphine consumption, postoperative pain scores, side effects and additional analgesic requiretment were recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • MorphineDrug

    In the literature, intrathecal morphine doses were applied according to the patients' actual body weight and there is no study comparing intrathecal morphine dose in thoracic surgery patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. pain scores

    Postoperative pain scores of the patients were recorded via Visual Analog Scale (VAS; 0= no pain, 10= worst pain)

    Measured: Change from baseline pain scores at 24 hours

  2. morphine consumption

    At the end of surgery, patients were allowed to use the patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device. The PCA delivered bolus doses of morphine (0.02 mg/kg) every 10 minutes without a backround infusion. Morphine consumption (mg) was evaluated and recorded postoperative 24 hours.

    Measured: Change from baseline morphine consumption at 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. systolic arterial blood pressure

    Intraoperative systolic arterial blood pressure (mmHg) values were recorded during surgery.

    Measured: change from baseline systolic blood pressure at 150 minutes

  2. diastolic arterial blood pressure

    Intraoperative diastolic arterial blood pressure (mmHg) values were recorded during surgery.

    Measured: change from baseline diastolic blood pressure at 150 minutes

  3. mean arterial blood pressure

    Intraoperative mean arterial blood pressure (mmHg) values were recorded during surgery.

    Measured: change from baseline mean arterial blood pressure at 150 minutes

  4. heart rate

    Intraoperative heart rate (beats/minute) values were recorded during surgery.

    Measured: change from baseline heart rate at 150 minutes

  5. side effects

    All of patients were visited in the thoracic surgery ward after surgery and side effects were evaluated and recorded.

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Morphine in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Cukurova University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 20 Oct 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

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?

pain scores (time frame: Change from baseline pain scores at 24 hours). The study lists 2 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 20 Oct 2022.
