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.
Interventional

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of postsurgical catheter-related bladder discomfort after preoperative pregabalin administration
Time Frame: Change from preoperative status to postoperative one at 0, 1, 2, 6, 24 hours postoperatively
Assessment of discomfort will be made by a scale of four (1=no discomfort, 2=mild discomfort reported on questioning only, 3=moderate discomfort, urge to pass urine reported by the patient without questioning, 4= severe discomfort, urge to pass urine accompanied by behavioral responses, such as flailing limbs, strong vocal responses or attempts to pull the catheter out)
Change from preoperative status to postoperative one at 0, 1, 2, 6, 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative pain assessed by NPRS scale (Numeric Pain Rating Scale)
Time Frame: Total amount of analgesics in morphine analogues administered in the first 24 hours postoperatively
The goal is to achieve pain scores<3 as these are assessed by the NPRS scale. In order to achieve that we will record the total amount of milligrams of analogues of morphine administered in the first 24 hours postoperatively
Total amount of analgesics in morphine analogues administered in the first 24 hours postoperatively
Adverse effects of the drug
Time Frame: All adverse effects observed in the first 24 hours postoperatively
Postoperative nausea and vomiting, confusion, vertigo, blurred vision, dry mouth,sedation, dizziness
All adverse effects observed in the first 24 hours postoperatively
Assessment of postoperative sedation
Time Frame: In the operating theatre immediately after patient's extubation
The Ramsay Sedation Scale is used to measure different levels of sedation in medical patients (1=Patient is anxious and agitated or restless, or both 2=Patient is co-operative, oriented, and tranquil, 3=Patient responds to commands only, 4=Patient exhibits brisk response to light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus, 5=Patient exhibits a sluggish response to light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus, 6=Patient exhibits no response)
In the operating theatre immediately after patient's extubation

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
