About this study

Official title: Integration of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Into Laparoscopic Pelvic Nerve Decompression Surgery

To describe a novel technique by integrating the intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) into laparoscopy to protect pelvic nerves by continuously monitoring when they are at risk during surgery.

Read the detailed description

We integrated intraoperative neuromonitoring system into laparoscopic lumbosacral plexus nerve decompression surgery and simultaneusly recorded nerve roots from lumbar 5 to sacral 4 during the operation. Diseases that cause pelvic nerve compression such as abnormal vascular conflict, aberrant priformis muscle, and endometriosis have settled in hard-to-reach deep areas of the pelvis. Sacral and sciatic nerves might be damaged when performing decompression surgery in these deep pelvic areas. We described a novel technique by integrating the intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) into laparoscopy to protect pelvic nerves by continuously monitoring when they are at risk during surgery.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring for decompression surgeryExperimentalwe integrated intraoperative neuromonitoring system into laparoscopic lumbosacral plexus nerve decompression surgery and simultaneusly recorded nerve roots from lumbar 5 to sacral 4 during the operation. Diseases that cause pelvic nerve compression such as abnormal vascular conflict, aberrant priformis muscle, and endometriosis have settled in hard-to-reach deep areas of the pelvis. These areas can be accesed more easily with by laparoscopy, which provides better magnification and visualization. Sacral and sciatic nerves might be damaged when performing decompression surgery in these deep pelvic areas. Patients who gave informed consent and underwent surgical treatment for a proven diagnosis of lumbosacral plexus nerve entrapment were included in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain score assessment with visual Analogic Scale (VAS)

    Pain symptoms (Dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, sciatic pain, chronic pelvic pain) were evaluated preoperatively , and re-evaluated at the postoperative first month.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring with Nicolet Endeavor IOM Machine in people with Nerve Entrapments and Pelvic Pain, run by Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital 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 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 25 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 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.

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 score assessment with visual Analogic Scale (VAS) (time frame: 1 month). 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 25 Aug 2023.
