About this study

Official title: Comparison of Three Different Rates of Continuous Intravenous Sufentanil Infusion for Postoperative Pain Management Following Coblation Tonsillectomy or Adeno-tonsillectomy in Children

Postoperative pain following tonsillectomy or adeno-tonsillectomy in children is severe and sometimes last for days. Sufentanil is used by epidural route for postoperative analgesia in children. There are few reports about its use for postoperative analgesia by continuous intravenous infusion. Its complications include , hypoxia, sedation, pruritus ,nausea and/or vomiting.

The investigators design this protocol to test efficacy of analgesia of three different rates of continuous intravenous sufentanil infusion for postoperative pain management following coblation tonsillectomy or adeno-tonsillectomy in children. The investigators also compare incidence rate of complications for three groups.

Being tested
continuous intravenous sufentanil 0.02μg•kg-1•h-1 infusion, continuous intravenous sufentanil 0.03μg•kg-1•h-1 infusion, continuous intravenous sufentanil 0.04μg•kg-1•h-1 infusion
Medical subject headings
Tonsillitis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing continuous intravenous sufentanil 0.02μg•kg-1•h-1 infusion, continuous intravenous sufentanil 0.03μg•kg-1•h-1 infusion and continuous intravenous sufentanil 0.04μg•kg-1•h-1 infusion in people with Sleep Breathing Disorders and Tonsillitis, run by Jin Ni at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 30 Sep 2014. 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 China. 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?

objective pain score (time frame: up to 48 hours after operation). 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 30 Sep 2014.
