About this study

Official title: Pain Control of Thoracoscopic Major Pulmonary Resection: Is Pre-emptive Local Bupivacaine Injection Able to Replace the Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia?

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether pre-emptive local bupivacaine injection is a better alternative pain control modality than the conventional intravenous patient controlled analgesia.

Read the detailed description

Despite less postoperative pain from Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) than thoracotomy, pain is still an important issue in its recovery period. After VATS procedure, intravenous patient controlled analgesia (IV PCA) is being used for pain control. However, the side effects of IV PCA are nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and urination difficulty which interrupt the early recovery. It is established that pre-emptive local bupivacaine injection is more economical, has almost no side effects, and finally, it is effective for the postoperative 24 hours. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether pre-emptive local bupivacaine injection is a better alternative pain control modality than the conventional intravenous patient controlled analgesia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pre-emptive bupivacaine wound infiltration in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 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 1 Jan 2013. 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 South Korea. 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?

The change in postoperative pain confirmed by Visual Analogue Pain Scale (time frame: Operation day, Postoperative Day 1, 2, 3 and 2 week, 1 month, 2 months). 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 1 Jan 2013.
