About this study
Official title: A Comparison of Single Dose Depodur With Fentanyl Infusion for Post-Cesarean Section Analgesia
Epidurally administered Depodur provides equal or superior analgesia as an epidural infusion of fentanyl for the first 48 hours after a cesarean section.
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
DepodurDrug
Depodur 10mg given epidurally at end of cesarean section.
DepodurDrug
Depodur 10mg given epidurally at end of cesarean section after patient received spinal bupivacaine at the beginning of the case.
FentanylDrug
Epidural fentanyl infusion started after spinal bupivacaine used for the cesarean section.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Active comparator | Epidural Depodur after spinal bupivacaine Receives: Drug: Depodur |
| 2 | Active comparator | Epidural fentanyl infusion after epidural lidocaine or spinal bupivacaine Receives: Drug: Fentanyl |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Degree of analgesia (measured on a 10-point scale)
Measured: 48 hours post-operatively
Secondary outcomes (1)
Frequency of minor side effects, such as pruritis or nausea.
Measured: 48 hours postoperatively

Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Degree of analgesia (measured on a 10-point scale) (time frame: 48 hours post-operatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00762554, which also lists 2 linked publications.
