What is being measured

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

  1. Change in postoperative pain between the two groups using visual analogue score (VAS)

    pain will be assessed using visual analogue score (VAS) 0-100 mm (0 indicated no pain, 100 denoted the most severe pain)

    pain will be assessed using visual analogue score (VAS) 0-100 mm (0 indicated no pain, 100 denoted the most severe pain)

    Measured: 24 Hours postoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)

    will be assessed using PONV scale a 4-point scale: none (0): no nausea, vomiting, and retching; mild (1): happened once; moderate (2): happened 2-3 times; and severe (3): continuous or more than three times.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Venlafaxine in people with Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, run by Mansoura University.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change in postoperative pain between the two groups using visual analogue score (VAS) (time frame: 24 Hours postoperative). 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 1 Jun 2023.
