Relationship Between Acute Phase Markers and Post-operative Pain in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: An Observational Study
An observational study of Post Operative Pain, run by University of Roma La Sapienza at 1 site in Italy.
Trial summary
Many patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy are prone to developing acute and chronic post-operative pain. The aim of the study is to show a possible correlation between pain and acute phase proteins in order to: predict the severity of pain; select most suitable pain relief therapy for the patient.

About this study
Official title: Relationship Between Acute Phase Markers and Acute Post-operative Pain in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: An Observational Study
Many patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy are prone to developing acute and chronic post-operative pain.
The aim of the study is to show a possible correlation between pain and acute phase proteins in order to:
- predict the severity of pain;
- select most suitable pain relief therapy for the patient.
Read the detailed description
The day after surgery, some serum markers are determined by a blood sample.
The markers analyzed are:
- Leukocytes;
- C-reactive protein (CRP);
- D-dimer;
- Fibrinogen;
- Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR).
Pain level is assessed using the NRS scale at different times:
- 1st post-operative day;
- 7th post-operative day;
- One month after surgery;
- Three months after surgery;
- Six months after surgery.
Other data collected for the study are: gender, age, BMI.
- Conditions
- Post Operative Pain
- Being tested
- laparoscopic cholecystectomy
- Medical subject headings
- Pain, Postoperative

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Relationship Between Post-operative Pain and C Reactive Protein (CRP) in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The study compares post-operative pain, measured with the NRS scale, with CRP (µg/L) levels 24 hours after surgery
Measured: one day
Relationship Between Post-operative Pain and D-dimer in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The study compares post-operative pain, measured with the NRS scale, with D-dimer (µg/L FEU) levels 24 hours after surgery
Measured: one day
Relationship Between Post-operative Pain and Fibrinogen in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The study compares post-operative pain, measured with the NRS scale, with fibrinogen (g/L) levels 24 hours after surgery
Measured: one day
Relationship Between Post-operative Pain and white blood cell count in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The study compares post-operative pain, measured with the NRS scale, with white blood cell count (x 10^9/L) 24 hours after surgery
Measured: one day
Relationship Between Post-operative Pain and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
The study compares post-operative pain, measured with the NRS scale, with Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) 24 hours after surgery. NLR results from the ratio between the level of neutrophils and lymphocytes.
Measured: one day
