About this study

Official title: Intravenous Pantoprazole vs Ranitidine in Dyspepsia in Emergency Department: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

The H0 hypothesis of the study is there is no difference between pantoprazole and ranitidine in treating patients presented with dyspepsia to the emergency department.

The H1 hypothesis is there is difference between pantoprazole and ranitidine in treating patients presented with dyspepsia to the emergency department.

Read the detailed description

Dyspepsia is one of the common complaints in emergency department. Proton pomp inhibitors, H2 receptor blockers and anti-acids are common drugs for treating dyspepsia in emergency department. However there is no study in the emergency department comparing the effectiveness of these drugs. So the investigators planned this study which drug is effective in these patients in order to provide a cost-effective treatment in dyspeptic patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Analogue Scale Score

    The investigators are measuring the change of pain from the baseline to the 30th and 60th minutes by visual anologue scale (VAS). Visual Analogue Scale measurement is between 0 (no pain) and 100 (worst pain). A decrease of 13 or 16 mm in VAS score is accepted as a minimum clinically significant change in pain.

    Measured: 30th and 60th minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Need for Additional Drug

    The investigators are measuring the need for additional drug at the end of 60 minutes.

    Measured: 60 th minute

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.

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?

Visual Analogue Scale Score (time frame: 30th and 60th minutes). 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 NCT01737840, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
