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.

Detailed Description

This randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo controlled multi-center clinical study was conducted in 396 patients scheduled to undergo elective general anesthesia laparotomy or orthopedic surgery. Patients were randomly divided into three groups in radio 1:1:1 received respectively IV placebo, ibuprofen 400 mg or ibuprofen 800 mg. The first dose of study drugs was administered intravenously at the time of wound closure and then every 6 hours within 48 hours after the operation. At the end of surgical suture, 5mg morphine was injected intravenously, and then the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump was connected. Efficacy was assessed by morphine dosage during the first 24 hours, pain intensity score, and area under the pain-time curve after surgery. Safety was assessed by the incidence of adverse events.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Enrollment was open to patients undergoing scheduled abdominal surgery (intestinal or lower abdomen) or orthopedic surgery (such as knee arthroplasty or shoulder joint reconstruction) under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and were expected to require patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump for more than 24h for moderate to severe pain after surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Those who can not understand the NRS score and cooperate with the evaluation; those who had head trauma or complicated with organic lesions of the central nervous system within 4 weeks before operation; those who developed coagulation dysfunction or took anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs; those with a history of severe cardio-cerebrovascular disease, heart failure; those with liver and kidney dysfunction, severe endocrine system diseases, mental illness; those with a history of peptic ulcer or bleeding; those who did not control grade 2 or above hypertension or were still taking two or more of antihypertensive drugs such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin converting enzyme antagonists (ARB) and diuretics at admission; Increased toxicity due to the interaction of methotrexate, lithium preparations, etc. with the test drug; use of NSAIDs or analgesic muscle relaxants within 24 hours before operation, narcotic dependence or tolerance; allergy to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs; pregnant or lactating women

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
the amount of morphine administered
Time Frame: during the first 24 hours
after surgery.
during the first 24 hours

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

Time Frame
Pain intensity (PI)
Time Frame: at 0 hour,1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours, 30 hours, 36 hours, 42 hours and 48 hours immediately after the first administration.
the PI was evaluated using patient self-reporting with numerical rating scales (NRS) (0= no pain to 10= intense pain)
