About this study

Official title: Comparison of Spinal Morphine With Systemic Analgesia After Urologic Surgery

The study was performed in urology patients elicited for open prostatectomy or open nephrectomy. Comparison of analgesic effect between group (M) with spinal morphine before general anaesthesia and group without this intervention was measured.

Read the detailed description

Patients elicited for open prostatectomy or open nephrectomy were randomly divided in 2 groups. Group M were administered preservative-free morphine 250 mcg in 2.5 ml NS intrathecal using 25 G needle in L1/2 - L5/S1 interspaces. Control group (C) were given no intervention. Placebo intrathecal injection in C was not used because of ethical reason. Standard general anaesthesia was used in both groups. After surgery all patients were transferred to urology ICU and were given standard analgesic regimen according to level of pain measured by numeric rating scale (NRS) 0 - 10: NRS > 3 metamizol 1 g IV every 6 h., max. 4 g/24 h., NRS > 3 paracetamol 1g IV every 6 h., max. 4 g/24 h., NRS > 3 lasting 30 min. after administration of previous ones diclofenac 75 mg IM á 12 h., max. 150 mg/24 h., NRS > 4 morphine 10 mg SC á 6 h. Personnel of ICU was blinded to the analgesic method used.

Noticed parameters: pain intensity (NRS), time to NRS ≥ 4, time to the first morphine request, side effects (respiratory rate <8, SpO2<90 %, nausea, vomiting, naloxone administration for SpO2<88 %, itching).

Standard statistical analysis was used, p value < 0.05 was considered significant.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of analgesia

    Time to the first morphine request during the first two days of ICU stay after surgery (in hours) and total morphine consumption during the first two days of ICU stay (in mg)

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Morphine side effects

    respiratory rate <8, SpO2<90 %, nausea, vomiting, naloxone administration for SpO2<88 %, itching

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Morphine in people with Pain, Postoperative, run by Charles University, Czech Republic at 1 site in Czechia.

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 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 19 Sep 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 Czechia. 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?

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?

Duration of analgesia (time frame: 48 hours). 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 19 Sep 2018.
