What is being measured

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

  1. 1st analgesic requirement

    The first time of supplemental analgesic need postoperatively

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Analgesic consumption

    Total analgesic consumption

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Post operative pain

    Visual Analog Scale(0-10 with 0 is no pain and 10 is maximum intolerable pain)

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Side effects

    1. Pruritus (assessed the number of patients suffering from pruritus and grading the degree as follow:Mild= Itching is a minor concern, Moderate = Itching is a primary concern, but bearable,Severe= Unbearable; patient need anti-histaminic treatment.
    2. Nausea and/or vomiting(assessed on 4 grade scales:

    0= no symptoms present, 1 =mild nausea with no need for pharmacological treatment, 2= moderate nausea that required treatment (ondansetron 4 mg), 3= severe nausea that is resistant to treatment).

    3-Sedation (assessed on 4 grade scale: 1-awake and alert, 2 -slightly drowsy, easily aroused, 3 -drowsy, drifts off to sleep during conversation, 4 -somnolent, minimal, or no response to physical stimulation).

    4- Respiratory depression whether present or not(Respiratory depression was defined as a respiratory rate ≤10/min.)

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Morphine Sulfate, Bupivacaine and dexamethasone, morphine, midazolam in people with Post Operative Pain, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 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 28 Jan 2022. 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 Egypt. 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 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 Fouad Soliman (01113815186, fouad_soliman@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1st analgesic requirement (time frame: 24 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 28 Jan 2022.
