Transdermal Buprenorphine Patch for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

February 23, 2024 updated by: Do-Hyeong Kim, Gangnam Severance Hospital

Transdermal Buprenorphine Patch for Postoperative Pain Control in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: a Prospective Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Study

Preliminary studies of the transdermal buprenorphine patch target chronic pain patients, and the pain relief effect and safety have been proven. There are previous reports that the transdermal buprenorphine patch is effective in acute postoperative pain control. However, no clinical studies have yet been reported on its application during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Therefore, we designed this study to see if the use of a transdermal buprenorphine patch resulted in a better pain profile.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Numeric rating scale pain score at movement
Time Frame: 6 hours after surgery
Pain intensity at rest will be evaluated by an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS: 0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain)
6 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Numeric rating scale pain score at rest
Time Frame: up to 2 weeks after the surgery
Pain intensity at rest will be evaluated by an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS: 0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain) 1, 2, 6, 24, and 2 weeks after the surgery.
up to 2 weeks after the surgery
