About this study

Official title: Randomized Control Trial for an Opioid Free Analgesic Pathway Post Cesarean Delivery

This study will investigate the effect of three types of wound infiltration on post Cesarean opioid analgesia consumption when used in conjunction with an opioid free postoperative analgesia pathway.

Read the detailed description

The subjects that meet the inclusion criteria of the study will be randomized preoperatively into three arms following a 1:1:1 ratio. During the intraoperative course one of three combinations of wound infiltration will be administered to subjects prior to the closure of the surgical incision. Subjects in Group I will receive a placebo of normal saline. Subjects in Group II will receive bupivacaine alone. Subjects in Group III will receive both bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine.

What participants receive

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

  • BupivacaineDrug

    Also called Bupivacaine wound infiltration

    Injection of bupivacaine into the surgical incision prior to its closure.

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    Also called Dexmedetomidine wound infiltration

    Injection of dexmedetomidine ( an adjuvant) into the surgical incision prior to its closure.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Injection of a placebo into the surgical wound

What is being measured

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

  1. Total number of opioid free Cesarean deliveries

    Measure the number of Cesarean deliveries that did not require opioid analgesia during the postoperative course

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time to first rescue analgesia

    Measure the time to first rescue analgesia from immediate post operative (0 hour) till when the rescue analgesia is administered

    Measured: 0 hour post-cesarean to time rescue analgeisa is administered]

  2. Total opioid consumption

    Measure the subjects total opioid consumption for the total duration of the postoperative course.

    Measured: 0-14 days

  3. Side effects/Adverse reactions

    Measure any side effects/allergic reactions attributed to use of any of the study drugs.

    Measured: 0-14 days

  4. Postoperative hospital stay

    Measure the length of the post-operative hospital stay .

    Measured: 0-14days

  5. Complications from procedures

    Measure any complications associated with the wound infiltration procedure

    Measured: 0-14 days

  6. Breast feeding capacity

    Assess the subject's capacity to breast feed during the postoperative course

    Measured: 0-14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bupivacaine and Dexmedetomidine in people with Pain, Postoperative and Anesthesia, Local, run by Richmond University Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 29 Aug 2018. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Nisha Lakhi, MD (718-818-2109, NLAKHI@RUMCSI.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total number of opioid free Cesarean deliveries (time frame: 1 year). 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 29 Aug 2018.
