About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Analgesic Effects of Tramadol, Pethidine and Morphine Under Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block in the Treatment of Pain After Elective Thoracic Surgery

Comparison of analgesic effects of tramadol, aldolan and morphine under thoracic surgery

Read the detailed description

Thoracotomy is one of the most painful surgical procedures known, and severe pain is encountered in 21-67% of patients after thoracotomy. The most important causes of this pain arise from the bone structures of the thoracic wall, damage to the costal joint junctions, stretching of the ligaments, rib fractures, and damage to the intercostal nerve and major muscles. Another factor that causes pain after thoracotomy is the chest tubes placed in the thorax to provide drainage (1).

As a result of this pain caused by loss of tissue and pulmonary reserve, effective coughing and decreased chest expansion can lead to serious complications such as atelectasis, ventilation/perfusion mismatch, hypoxemia, immobilization, thromboembolism and infection. These complications are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in thoracic surgery (2).

Ensuring pain management in patients undergoing thoracotomy is important in terms of reducing postoperative complications, ensuring early mobilization and increasing patient comfort. Since there is no single source that causes pain after thoracotomy, pain must be controlled at all levels. For this reason, a multimodal approach using pharmacological and non-pharmacological techniques is preferred in analgesia after thoracotomy. This approach reduces drug side effects along with the consumption of analgesics. Opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used in pharmacological analgesia.

In our study, the investigators aim to compare the effects of tramadol, pethidine and morphine using intravenous patient-controlled analgesia in the treatment of postoperative pain in elective thoracic surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of drugs's analgesic effects

    To compare the analgesic effects of tramadol, pethidine and morphine in the treatment of postoperative pain in thoracic surgery, It will be assesed with numeric rating scale ( 0= no pain, 10= worst pain imaginable)

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours

  2. Comparing hemodynamic effects

    To compare hemodynamic effects of tramadol, pethidine and morphine in the treatment of postoperative pain in thoracic surgery, It will be asssesed with measurements of intraoperative values of systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure

    Measured: Intraoperatively, then postoperative 24 hours

  3. Comparing respiratory effects

    To compare respiratory effects of tramadol, pethidine and morphine in the treatment of postoperative pain in thoracic surgery. It will be asssesed with postoperative pulmonary complications such as failed extubation, bronchospasms or respiratory depressions.

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Adverse effects of analgesics

    It was aimed to compare the effects of drugs in terms of side effects, early mobilization.

    Measured: postoperative 24 hours

  2. surgeon satisfaction

    With a questionnaire, surgeon satisfaction will be assessed. (0 point= strongly disagree, 5 point= strongly agree)

    Measured: Immediately after the surgery

  3. patient satisfaction

    With a questionnaire, patient satisfaction will be assessed. (0 point= strongly disagree, 5 point= strongly agree) When Aldrete score> 8, patient will be questioned for satisfaction.

    Measured: Postoperative 30th minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tramadol hydrochloride, Aldolan and Morphine hydrochloride in people with Thoracic Diseases and Analgesia, run by Baskent 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 5 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 15 Dec 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Begum N Gokdemir, MD (03122036868, begokdemir@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rate of drugs's analgesic effects (time frame: postoperative 24 hours). The study lists 3 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 15 Dec 2023.
