About this study

Official title: Preoperative Micronized Flavonoid Fraction (MFF) Use in Multimodal Anesthesia in Anorectal Surgery: Study Protocol for Prospective, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Study

Aim: To assess the efficiency of the micro-flavonoid fraction (MMF) administration prior to anorectal surgery with spinal anesthesia on postoperative pain severity reduction.

Methods: Patients who meet the following criteria are included: participants must be diagnosed with surgical treatment of anorectal diseases. All participants are randomly divided into 2 groups: the first one gets a tablet with 1000 mg MFF (Detralex®), the second one gets a tablet containing starch per os 14 days before surgery (72 participants per arm). Then patients of each group will continue MFF administration for 30 days after surgery. Patients of both arms receive spinal anesthesia and undergo surgery. Following the procedure the primary and secondary outcomes are evaluated: frequency of the opioid drugs intake, the severity of the postoperative pain syndrome, duration and frequency of other drugs intake, readmission rate, overall quality of life, time from the procedure to returning to work and the complications rate, C-reactive protein level.

Discussion: the MFF intake allows reducing the severity of the hemorrhoidal disease symptoms during conservative treatment. In addition, the Detralex® efficacy has been proven in postoperative pain reduction for patients diagnosed with varicose veins of the lower extremities. The investigators intend to evaluate the feasibility of the preoperative MFF administration for the postoperative pain reduction and the decrease of the postoperative complications in patients with hemorrhoidal disease.

What participants receive

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

  • micronized flavonoid fractionDrug

    Patients of the experimental group received Detralex® 1000 mg QD for 15 days before the operation, 3000 mg starting from day 1 after the surgery for 4 days, then 2000 mg for the next 3 days and 1000 mg till day 30 after surgery.

    Under spinal anesthesia appropriate surgical intervention was performed. After the surgery, the patient was given a questionnaire and a scale for assessing pain at rest and during defecation within the first 2 weeks after surgery. During the hospital stay, the nurse filled out a section on the drugs used; after discharge, the patient filled out this section for 7 days after the surgery. After 30 days, the side effects section was filled out, and the quality of life was assessed on days 7 and 30. Also, the patients indicated in a separate column on which day after the surgery they were able to return to normal living or go to work.

What is being measured

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

  1. rate of prescribing opioid analgesics

    the rate of prescribing opioid analgesics to prevent the pain from rising above VAS 5 after surgery

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. pain at rest and during defecation

    The pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS, 0 to 10 points, where 10 is the maximum score).

    Measured: 15 days after surgery

  2. other medications use

    the need for other medications after surgery

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

  3. readmission rate

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

  4. The life quality rate

    The overall quality of life was assessed using the EQ-5D patient questionnaire.

    Measured: 7 and 30 days

  5. time from surgery to return to work

    Measured: during 30 days after surgery

  6. complication rates

    bleeding, urinary retention, infectious complications

    Measured: within 30 days after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing micronized flavonoid fraction in people with Hemorrhoids and Hemorrhoid Pain, run by Center of Endourology "Endocenter" at 1 site in Russia.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 Aug 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 Russia. 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?

rate of prescribing opioid analgesics (time frame: 7 days after surgery). 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 24 Aug 2023.
