What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of patients with post dural puncture headache

    Number of patients develop post dural puncture headache

    Measured: first 5 days post-partum

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Severity of post dural puncture headache

    Visual analogue scale score for pain assessment. from 0 to ten. 0= no pain 1-3= mild pain....4-6= moderate pain ... 7-10= severe pain

    Measured: first 5 days post-partum

  2. onset and duration of post dural puncture headache

    Time when visual analogue scale score increase and duration until return to 0. Visual analogue scale score for pain assessment. from 0 to ten. 0= no pain 1-3= mild pain....4-6= moderate pain ... 7-10= severe pain

    Measured: 5 days post partum

  3. Analgesic request

    First time to analgesic request from block

    Measured: 24 hours after operation

  4. Analgesc requirements

    Total analgesic requirements

    Measured: 2 days after operation

  5. frequency of analgesic doses

    number of analgesic doses given to the patient

    Measured: 5 days

  6. incidence of complications related to the procedure

    number of patients with adverse events as bradycardia, tachcardia, miosis,muscle cramps, twitches, colics, hypotension

    Measured: 6 hours after procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing intravenous 50 mL of saline injection of 0.9% after umbilical cord clamping. and Neostigmine 20μg/kg (Neostigmine Methylsulphate 0.5 mg, Amriya Pharm.Ind.) and atropine 0.01 mg/kg (diluted in 50 ml saline; 0.9% for 10 min) following umbilical cord clamping. in people with Acute Pain, run by Minia 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 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 16 Jul 2024. 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?

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?

Incidence of patients with post dural puncture headache (time frame: first 5 days post-partum). 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 16 Jul 2024.
