About this study

Official title: The Effect of Intrathecal Versus Intravenous Dexmeditomedine on Postoperative Analgesia in Transurethral Resection of the Prostate

This study is to evaluate The analgesic effect of intrathecal versus intravenous dexmeditomedine in transurethral resection of the prostate

Read the detailed description

This study will carried out in Tanta University hospital on75 male patients Patients will randomly classified into 3 groups Group I: will receive intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine 10mg in 2.5 ml and .5 ml saline with 3ml total volume Group II: will receive dexmeditomedine 5Mic diluted in.5 ml saline and hyperbaric bupivacaine 10mg in 2.5ml with 3ml total volume Group IIl: Will receive intravenous dexmeditomedine started at loading dose of 1 mic/kg diluted in 50 ml saline and administered within 10 min as loading dose , followed by maintenance at a dose of .4mic/kg/h diluted in200 ml saline till the end of surgery and hyperbaric bupivacaine 10 mg in 2.5 ml total volume

Being tested
control group, Intrathecal dexmedetomidine, Intravenous dexmedetomidine

What participants receive

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

  • control groupDrug

    Each patient will receive intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine 10 mg in 2.5 ml and 0.5 ml saline with 3 mL total volume. Continous 50 ml saline infusion for 10 min followed by 200 ml saline infusion till the end of surgery.

  • Intrathecal dexmedetomidineDrug

    Each patient will receive dexmedetomidine 5 μg diluted in 0.5ml saline and hyperbaric Bupivacaine 10 mg in 2.5 ml with 3 mL total volume. Continous 50 ml saline infusion for 10 min followed by 200 ml saline infusion till the end of surgery.

  • Intravenous dexmedetomidineDrug

    Each patient will receive intravenous dexmedetomidine started at a loading dose of 1 μg/kg diluted in 50 ml saline and administered within 10 min as a loading dose, followed by maintenance at a dose of 0.4 μg/kg/h diluted in 200 ml saline till the end of surgery and hyperbaric Bupivacaine 10 mg in 2.5 ml total volume.

What is being measured

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

  1. The time to first rescue analgesic

    The duration between the administration of spinal block and the first desire for supplemental analgesia (onset of 1st post-operative analgesic dose).

    First post-operative analgesic dose will be1 μg/kg intravenous fentanyl when visual analogue pain score (VAS) is 4 or more

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postoperative pain score Total dose of analgesic consumption I the first postoperative day Intraoperative and postoperative complications

    Visual analogue score (VAS) between 0 and 10{0= no pain, 10=most severe pain}

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  2. Total analgesic consumption

    The pain score will be assessed every 4 h in 24 h and fentanyl will be given in a dose of 1 μg /kg when Visual analogue score (VAS) is 4 or more. Any out breaking pain will be treated with increments of fentanyl in a dose of 0.5μg/kg.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  3. Intraoperative and postoperative complications

    e.g. hypotension, bradycardia and vomiting

    Measured: Intraoperative and 24 hours postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intrathecal dexmedetomidine and Intravenous dexmedetomidine in people with Dexmedetomidine and Transurethral Resection of Prostate, run by Tanta University.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 6 Nov 2020. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Laila ElAhwal, MD (00201018484319, lailaalahwal@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The time to first rescue analgesic (time frame: 24 hours postoperative). 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 6 Nov 2020.
