About this study

Comparison of different postoperative analgesia after laparoscopic colorectal surgery

Read the detailed description

Postoperative pain treatment should be multimodal and opioid sparing. Thoracic epidural analgesia could relieve pain after laparoscopic surgery. Although ERAS guidelines suggest to use less invasive pain relieve technique, opioids are widely used perioperatively, despite of their side effects. Non-opioids and 5% lidocaine patches, used topicaly, could effectively reduce opioid consumption and their side effects.

Namely, efficient perioperative pain treatment is important to prevent late neuropathic pain, also after laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery. Its incidence is usually low compared to open surgery.

The aim of present study was to evaluate, if opioid consumption in laparoscopic colorectal surgery could be reduced with lidocaine patch at the wound site or with infusion of metamizole and tramadol and if the results meets epidural analgesia. We also compared the incidence of postoperative neuropathic pain among groups.

Prospective, randomised trial with 4 parallel groups was conducted at the University medical centre (UMC) Ljubljana. ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologists) Class 2-3 high risk surgical patients from the Clinical department of abdominal surgery were included in the study. Adult patients that underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery were included.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total opioid consumption

    Measurement of piritramide consumprion

    Measured: 0-48 hours after surgical procedure

  2. Presence of neuropathic pain

    Detecting of neuropathic pain using DN4 and PainDetect Questionnaire. These are clinically validated tools for detecting the presence of neuropathic pain and evaluating the severity.

    Measured: first 3 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Comparison of analgesic efficacy protocol in people with Postoperative Pain, run by University Medical Centre Ljubljana.

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 1 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 26 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Total opioid consumption (time frame: 0-48 hours after surgical procedure). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05831761, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 26 Apr 2023.
