Trial summary

Unlike longer acting opiates (sufentanil), remifentanil may provoke postoperative hyperalgesia. We have developed two automated bispectral index - guided drug delivery systems: one for propofol administration, the other for combined propofol and remifentanil administration.

About this study

Official title: Influence of Intraoperative Analgesia (Sufentanil Administered According to the Usual Criteria or Remifentanil Administered by a Closed-loop System Using Bispectral Index as the Controller) on the Postoperative Morphine Consumption

Unlike longer acting opiates (sufentanil), remifentanil may provoke postoperative hyperalgesia. We have developed two automated bispectral index - guided drug delivery systems: one for propofol administration, the other for combined propofol and remifentanil administration. Both systems achieve the same objective: similar level of anesthesia indicated by bispectral index levels between 40 to 60. We make the assumption that this method of automated remifentanil administration may avoid postoperative hyperalgesia. Patients scheduled for abdominal surgery will be divided into two groups:

  • in one group, patients will receive automatically delivered propofol and manually delivered sufentanil according to the usual criteria,
  • in the other group, patients will receive propofol and remifentanil both automatically administered.

Assessment of postoperative hyperalgesia will be primarily based on morphine consumption (patient controlled analgesia) and detection of cutaneous hyperalgesia areas.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Remifentanil and Sufentanil in people with Anesthesia, run by Hopital Foch at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2016. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Dose of morphine administered during the postoperative period (patient controlled analgesia) (time frame: 48 postoperative hours). 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 NCT00772616, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 23 Sep 2016.
