About this study

This study to determine the effectiveness of a combination of pre-surgical laserpuncture with standard anti-emetic therapy for PONV symptoms in adult patients after strabismus surgery under general anesthesia compared to a combination of pre-surgical placebo laserpuncture with standard anti-emetic therapy. Research design using a double blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) where research subjects and data takers who will be disguised. The research will be carried out in the Operation and Inpatient Room, Kirana Building, RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) with research subjects as adult patients undergoing strabismus surgery under general anesthesia. Assessment of nausea and vomiting using AVS ( Analog Visual Scale) consists of scoring using a score from 1-5 which indicates the severity of nausea and vomiting.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is to evaluate the role of laserpuncture as a prevention of nausea and vomiting in adult patients after strabismus surgery under general anesthesia. Participants are 32 males/females aged 18-59 years. They will be divided into 2 groups: (1) Group laserpuncture and (2) Sham laserpuncture. The study intervention was performed 30 minutes before surgery. The primary outcome in this study was the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Being tested
Laserpuncture, Sham Laserpuncture
Medical subject headings
Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting

What participants receive

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

  • LaserpunctureDevice

    Laserpuncture : using RJ Laser with Nogier B wave setting, frequency 584 Hz, power 50 mW, wavelength 785 nm, and energy of 2 Joules at each acupuncture point ( PC6 Neiguan and CV12 Zhongwan)

  • Sham LaserpunctureDevice

    Sham Laserpuncture: The laser is turned on but not activated at each acupuncture point ( PC6 Neiguan and CV12 Zhongwan).

What is being measured

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

  1. Analog Visual Scale for nausea vomitting

    PONV (post operative nausea vomiting) assessment based on the onset of nausea

    • vomit that has value 1-5. 1 = No nausea and vomiting. 2 = Nausea and possible vomiting tolerated, with the nausea episode can't remember by the patient or intensity nausea low with one vomiting episodes (not needed antiemetic additional inside both events). Ordinal 57 3 = Nausea and vomiting, with episodes that don't can be remembered and need antiemetic. 4 = Nausea and possible vomiting remembered clearly and need antiemetic for control symptom. 5=Nausea and persistent vomiting, with nothing symptom improvement even if given antiemetic.

    Measured: 30 minutes after surgery, 2 hours after surgery, 6 hours after surgery, and 12 hours after surgery.
