About this study

Official title: Post Operative Functional Restoration in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal and Pelvic Laparoscopic Surgery: Effect of Perioperative Intravenous Lidocaine

This is a blinded randomized controlled trial in patients undergoing laparoscopic colon surgery. The aim of this study is to assess whether perioperative intravenous lidocaine has an impact on the early post operative physical activity recovery of patients scheduled for laparoscopic colon surgery.

Twenty patients will receive thoracic epidural analgesia, twenty patients will receive intravenous lidocaine plus patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and twenty patients will receive only PCA.

Hypothesis: patients receiving perioperative intravenous lidocaine, post operative recovery will be faster and decrease pain intensity, opioid consumption and side effects, length of hospital stay; probably as a result of a significant opioid sparing and attenuated inflammatory response.

Read the detailed description

This is a blinded randomised study of patients undergoing major laparoscopic abdominal and pelvic surgery. The first group of patients will receive thoracic epidural analgesia, the second group will receive perioperative intravenous lidocaine, the third group will PCA alone and the last group will receive spinal analgesia. Functional restoration assessed by self-administered quality of Life questionnaires (SF-36, CHAMPS, ICFS) and 2 and 6 min walking test will be assessed in the two groups at 3 and 8 weeks after the surgery.

Being tested
Lidocaine, Epidural Block, PCA Morphine
Medical subject headings
Colonic Neoplasms, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Diverticulitis

What participants receive

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

  • LidocaineDrug

    Also called Intravenous local anesthetic infusion

    1% Lidocaine 1mg/kg/hr IV drip x 48hr

  • Epidural BlockProcedure or surgery

    Also called Thoracic epidural analgesia

    0.1% Epidural bupivacaine + Morphine 0.02 mg/ml drip via epidural x48 hr

  • PCA MorphineDrug

    Also called Patient Control Analgesia Morphine.

    PCA Morphine is set to the patient for 48 hours postoperative. 2 mg. of morphine is given to a patient as much as patient requires, maximum at every 7 minutes.

Study groups in NCT00982618
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
LIDOCAINE groupExperimentalLIDOCAINE group : Beside general anesthesia, patients will receive intravenous lidocaine bolus 1.5 mg/kg just prior induction and an infusion of lidocaine 2mg/kg/h will be started and maintained during the whole surgical procedure. Entering the recovery room, this infusion will be decreased at the rate of 1mg/kg/hour for the 48 first hours
Receives: Drug: Lidocaine
Epidural GroupExperimentalEpidural Group: Beside general anesthesia, patient will receive epidural freezing medication for 48 hours.
Receives: Procedure: Epidural Block
PCA groupActive comparatorBeside general anesthesia, the patients will receive neither lidocaine nor epidural catheter. The patients will receive the same analgesia protocol consisting of PCA morphine for a total duration of 48 hours.
Receives: Drug: PCA Morphine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lidocaine, Epidural Block and PCA Morphine in people with Colon Cancer and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 8 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 28 Nov 2011. 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 Canada. 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.

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?

Postoperative functional recovery (time frame: daily during hospitalization, and at 4 and 8 weeks after the surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Nov 2011.
