About this study

Official title: Effects of Pre-operative Oral Pregabalin on Post Operative Morphine Consumption After Abdominal Hysterectomy With/Without Salpingo-oophorectomy Under Spinal Anesthesia With Intrathecal Morphine

This study aims to compare the effect of pre-operative oral pregabalin on post operative morphine consumption after abdominal hysterectomy with/without salpingo-oophorectomy.

Read the detailed description

The participants are randomized into two groups by computer randomization. The patient undergo spinal anesthesia with 0.5% Heavy bupivacaine with morphine 0.2 mg. IV PCA morphine is initiate in the post-anesthetic care unit. We compare post operative morphine consumption in the first 24 hours, time to first analgesia, adverse event, and patient satisfaction.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • placeboDrug

    Placebo in capsule is prescribed to the patient 60 min prior to the surgery. Ringer Lactate Solution preload 15 mL/kg prior to surgery. Spinal anesthesia is done with 0.5% Heavy bupivacaine + morphine 0.2 mg total volume 3.0 - 3.6 mL. IV PCA Morphine is applied at PACU (bolus dose only 1 mg, lockout interval 5 min, 4 hr limit 35 mg). As soon as the patient is allowed to sip, paracetamol (500 mg) 1 tab PO every 6 hours is prescribed.

  • PregabalinDrug

    Also called Lyrica

    Pregabalin (150 mg) one capsule is prescribed to the patient 60 min prior to the surgery.

    Ringer Lactate Solution preload 15 mL/kg prior to surgery. Spinal anesthesia is done with 0.5% Heavy bupivacaine + morphine 0.2 mg total volume 3.0 - 3.6 mL. IV PCA Morphine is applied at PACU (bolus dose only 1 mg, lockout interval 5 min, 4 hr limit 35 mg). As soon as the patient is allowed to sip, paracetamol (500 mg) 1 tab PO every 6 hours is prescribed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Post Operative Morphine Consumption

    Cumulative morphine consumption in the first 24 hours is recorded from IV PCA

    Measured: 6, 12, and 24 hours after operation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to First Analgesia

    Time to first analgesia is recorded from IV PCA.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Pain Scores on the Visual Analog Scale

    Pain score is evaluated by nurses using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)

    Minimum score 0 (no pain), Maximum score 10 (worst imaginable pain), lower scores mean a better outcome

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Numbers of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Measure sedation score by evaluate and observe; measure pruritus, PONV, dizziness, visual disturbance using questionnaire

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. Number of Patients Evaluating Their Satisfaction

    Using four-point scale to evaluate patient satisfaction. Patients indicated if their satisfaction was Unsatisfied, Less Satisfied, Moderately Satisfied, or Good Satisfied.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pregabalin in people with Post Operative Pain, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2019. 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 Thailand. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Mar 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Post Operative Morphine Consumption (time frame: 6, 12, and 24 hours after operation). 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 NCT02285010, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 15 Mar 2019.
