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

Postoperative pain treatment should be multimodal and opioid sparing. Thoracic epidural analgesia could relieve pain after laparoscopic surgery. Although ERAS guidelines suggest to use less invasive pain relieve technique, opioids are widely used perioperatively, despite of their side effects. Non-opioids and 5% lidocaine patches, used topicaly, could effectively reduce opioid consumption and their side effects.

Namely, efficient perioperative pain treatment is important to prevent late neuropathic pain, also after laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery. Its incidence is usually low compared to open surgery.

The aim of present study was to evaluate, if opioid consumption in laparoscopic colorectal surgery could be reduced with lidocaine patch at the wound site or with infusion of metamizole and tramadol and if the results meets epidural analgesia. We also compared the incidence of postoperative neuropathic pain among groups.

Prospective, randomised trial with 4 parallel groups was conducted at the University medical centre (UMC) Ljubljana. ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologists) Class 2-3 high risk surgical patients from the Clinical department of abdominal surgery were included in the study. Adult patients that underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery were included.

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.
