What is being measured

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

  1. provides adequate pain relief and decreases fentanyl consumption

    Patients are subgrouping into groups of post-OP IV fentanyl PCA only, pretreatment of local bupivacaine infiltration and post-OP IV fentanyl PCA, and pretreatment of peroneal nerves block and post-OP IV fentanyl PCA. Resting pain and moving pain scores are measured by the numeric rating scale and classified into none, mild, moderate and severe pain four grades. Pains scale and side effects are recorded at time intervals of post-OP 0 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 36 hours after surgery.

    Measured: including of surgery and 36 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. incidence of side effects and complications

    side effects include of intraoperative hypo-tension,dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.

    Measured: intraoperatively and 36 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing IV fentanyl PCA, local bupivacaine infiltration and post-OP IV fentanyl PCA and Nerve Blocks and post-OP IV fentanyl PCA in people with Pain, run by Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

provides adequate pain relief and decreases fentanyl consumption (time frame: including of surgery and 36 hours after 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 10 Oct 2013.
