About this study

Official title: Subdiaphragmatic Infiltration of Diluted Lidocaine During Single-incision Laparoscopic Surgery for Postoperative Shoulder Pain Alleviation

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of subdiaphragmatic spray of 0.08% lidocaine in relieving postoperative acute pain and psychological status of patients undergoing single-port laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecological diseases, and to provide evidence-based basis for optimizing postoperative analgesic strategies.

Methods: A single-center, prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. A total of 100 patients scheduled for elective single-port laparoscopic surgery due to uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, or other benign gynecological conditions were selected from the General Gynecology Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. They were divided into the experimental group (n=50) and the control group (n=50) using a random number table. The experimental group received 50 ml of 0.08% lidocaine solution sprayed on the bilateral subdiaphragmatic regions at the start of surgery, while the control group underwent standard ERAS without any pharmaceutical intervention in the subdiaphragmatic area. The primary endpoint was the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score for resting pain at 6 hours postoperatively. The secondary endpoints included NRS scores at 1, 2, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively, total consumption of analgesics within 48 hours after surgery, incidence of adverse reactions, patient satisfaction, and scores of psychological and sleep scales (Distress Thermometer, GAD-7, etc.) at 30 days postoperatively. SPSS 25.0 software was used for data analysis. Quantitative data were analyzed by t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, and qualitative data were analyzed by χ² test or Fisher's exact test. Repeated measurement data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance.

Results: After the completion of the study, differences in NRS scores, analgesic consumption, psychological status and other indicators between the two groups will be compared.

Conclusion: The results of this study will clarify the clinical value of intraoperative diaphragmatic infiltration with low-concentration lidocaine in postoperative analgesia after single-port laparoscopic gynecological surgery, and provide references for postoperative pain management and psychological intervention.

subdiaphragmatic lidocaine sprayed, standard ERAS

What participants receive

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

  • subdiaphragmatic lidocaine sprayedOther

    After adjusting the patient's position, a catheter is inserted through the single-port laparoscopic operating channel, and 50ml of 0.08% lidocaine solution is evenly sprayed on the bilateral subdiaphragmatic regions under laparoscopic direct vision.

  • standard ERASProcedure or surgery

    Standard Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for single-port laparoscopic surgery is performed, with no drug intervention in the subdiaphragmatic region at the end of surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score at rest 6 hours postoperatively

    NRS: range from 0~10, with 10 the heaviest pain

    Measured: From operation to 6 hours after operation

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. NRS scores at rest 1, 2, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively

    NRS: range from 0~10, with 10 the heaviest pain

    Measured: from operation to 1, 2, 12, and 24 hours after operation

  2. Total consumption of postoperative analgesic drugs:type of additional postoperative analgesic drugs

    type of additional postoperative analgesic drugs used after operation, besides standard ERAS protocol

    Measured: from operation to 48 hours after operation

  3. Total consumption of postoperative analgesic drugs: dosage of additional postoperative analgesic drugs

    dosage of additional postoperative analgesic drugs used after operation, besides standard ERAS protocol

    Measured: from operation to 48 hours after operation

  4. Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting

    incidence of postoperative nausea or vomiting

    Measured: from operation to 48 hours after operation

  5. Overall patient satisfaction score with postoperative analgesic effect (using a 5-point Likert scale, including five levels: Very Dissatisfied, Dissatisfied, Neutral, Satisfied, Very Satisfied)

    Measured: from operation to 48 hours after operation

  6. Distress Thermometer

    Distress Thermometer (DT),0-10,Higher scores indicate worse condition.

    Measured: from enrollment to 30 days after operation

  7. Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7)

    0-21,Higher scores indicate worse anxiety symptoms

    Measured: from enrollment to 30 days after operation

  8. Patient Health Questionnaire 2-item Scale (PHQ-2)

    0-6,Higher scores indicate worse depressive symptom severity

    Measured: from enrollment to 30 days after operation

  9. Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item Scale (PHQ-9)

    0-27,Higher scores indicate worse depressive symptoms

    Measured: from enrollment to 30 days after operation

  10. Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R)

    0-88,Higher scores indicate worse post-traumatic stress symptoms (intrusions, avoidance, hyperarousal)

    Measured: from enrollment to 30 days after operation

  11. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    0-21,Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality

    Measured: from enrollment to 30 days after operation
