Trial summary

The infiltration of the surgical wound is an effective strategy for postoperative analgesia. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatories are useful in this way. Objective: To compare the analgesic effectiveness of diclofenac sodium, bupivacaine or bupivacaine plus diclofenac sodium infiltrating wound appendectomies. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Surgical Wound Infiltration With Sodium Diclofenac Versus Bupivacaine in the Treatment of Acute Postoperative Pain Following Appendectomy

The infiltration of the surgical wound is an effective strategy for postoperative analgesia. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatories are useful in this way.

Objective: To compare the analgesic effectiveness of diclofenac sodium, bupivacaine or bupivacaine plus diclofenac sodium infiltrating wound appendectomies.

Method: Comparative, double blind, American Society Anesthesiologist classification I-II,18-65años. Group 1 (Bupivacaine n = 14), Group 2 (Diclofenac Sodium n = 14), Group 3 (Bupivacaine + Diclofenac Sodium n = 15). Pain at rest and dynamic, rescue analgesic consumption in Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and 24 hours after surgery were evaluated.

Being tested
Bupivacaine, Sodium diclofenac
Medical subject headings
Pain, Postoperative

What is being measured

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

  1. rest and dynamic postoperative pain with visual analogue scale

    Measured: 24 hours of postoperative period

  2. rescue analgesic consumption

    Measured: 24 hours of postoperative period

  3. appearance of bowel sounds

    auscultation of bowel sounds

    Measured: 24 hours of postoperative period

  4. changes in rest and dynamic postoperative pain with visual analogue scale

    Measured: 24 hours of postoperative pain

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. number of participants with skin suture removal after 10 days

    Measured: 10 days of postoperative pain

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bupivacaine and Sodium diclofenac in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Hospital Central Dr. Luis Ortega.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 27 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

rest and dynamic postoperative pain with visual analogue scale (time frame: 24 hours of postoperative period). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Apr 2016.
