About this study

Official title: The Effect of Pretreated Gabapentin on Hyeralgesia Occurring in the Second Operation in Staged Bilateral Cataract Surgery

Gabapentin pretreatment may reduce hyperalgesia occurring at the second surgery in serial, bilateral cataract surgery.

Read the detailed description

Hyperalgesia occurring at the second operation in bilateral eye surgery is well known, and mechanism of central sensitization might be involved. Gabapentin is known to lower the effect of central sensitization, and its effect on acute postoperative pain has been reported. Therefore, pretreatment of gabapentin after first operation may reduce the pain at second operation.

What is being measured

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

  1. proportion of subjects who answer that "pain was greater" in the second eye surgery

    Measured: Intra operative (pain while fluid injection to anterior chamber)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. perioperative pain

    evaluation of overall perioperative pain

    Measured: end of surgery, post-op 1hr at PACU, at out-patient ward, post-op 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing gabapentin in people with Hyperalgesia, run by Seoul National University 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 7 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 12 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Contact Heepyoung Park, MD,PhD (82-2-2072-2466, hppark@snu.ac.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

proportion of subjects who answer that "pain was greater" in the second eye surgery (time frame: Intra operative (pain while fluid injection to anterior chamber)). 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?
