Intraoperative Ketamine and Magnesium Therapy for Control of Postoperative Pain After a Liposuction and Lipoabdominoplasty (KEMPLA)

May 1, 2018 updated by: Veronica Varas Vega, University of Chile

Efficacy of Ketamine and Magnesium Association in the Postoperative Pain After Liposuction and Lipoabdominoplasty: Prospective, Randomized and Blinded Study

Lipoabdominoplasty and liposuction are one of the most common plastic surgeries. The management of postoperative pain is complex. Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are insufficient, while opioids are avoided by their adverse effects and regional techniques are hampered by a premature discharge. In this context, the investigators seek an intraoperative multimodal analgesic technique blocking NMDA receptors with ketamine plus magnesium to significantly decrease postoperative pain.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
