Eficacia Analgésica y Efectos Obstétricos de Tramadol, Paracetamol y Placebo en el Trabajo de Parto Activo (TRAMPA)

Eficacia Analgésica y Efectos Obstétricos de Tramadol, Paracetamol y Placebo en Trabajo de Parto Activo: Un Ensayo Controlado Aleatorizado Doble Ciego

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to compare the analgesic efficacy and obstetric effects of tramadol (100 mg IV) versus paracetamol (1 g IV) versus placebo (saline solution) in nulliparous women during active labor. The primary outcome is duration of active labor (minutes). Secondary outcomes include duration of expulsive phase, type of delivery, need for oxytocin augmentation, maternal adverse events (nausea, vomiting, somnolence, hypotension), and neonatal outcomes (Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes, NICU admission). The study hypothesizes that tramadol significantly reduces active labor duration compared to paracetamol and placebo, without compromising maternal or neonatal safety. A total of 300 nulliparous women (100 per group) will be enrolled at Hospital Escuela, Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Descripción detallada

This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, superiority efficacy trial comparing three interventions: tramadol 100 mg IV, paracetamol 1 g IV, and placebo (10 mL 0.9% saline solution) administered at the onset of active labor (cervical dilation ≥4 cm with regular contractions). The study design follows CONSORT guidelines for randomized controlled trials. Randomization will be performed using REDCap's automated randomization module in variable block sizes, ensuring allocation concealment. Double-blinding is maintained: participants, care providers, and outcome assessors are masked to group assignment. The primary endpoint is duration of active labor (minutes from intervention administration to complete cervical dilation). Secondary endpoints include: duration of expulsive phase (minutes), type of delivery (spontaneous vaginal, instrumental, cesarean), need for oxytocin augmentation, maternal adverse events (nausea, vomiting, somnolence, hypotension, pruritus, dizziness), neonatal Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes, birth weight, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, NICU admission, and neonatal asphyxia. Data collection includes sociodemographic variables (age, education, marital status, occupation), obstetric variables (gestational age, prenatal care visits, BMI, membrane status, cervical dilation at intervention, baseline fetal heart rate), and pain scores (Visual Analog Scale pre-intervention, 30 min, 1h, 2h post-intervention). Statistical analysis includes ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis for continuous variables, chi-square for categorical variables, and logistic regression for binary outcomes, with significance set at p<0.05. A Data Safety Monitoring Board will oversee safety every 3 months. The study is funded by Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras and will be conducted at Hospital Escuela, Tegucigalpa, from Feb. 2026 to June 2026.

Armas e Intervenciones

Grupo de participantes/brazo
Intervención / Tratamiento
Experimental: Tramadol Group

Participants receive a single dose of tramadol 100 mg intravenously at the onset of active labor (cervical dilation ≥4 cm with regular contractions).
Droga: Tramadol Hydrochloride

Tramadol 100 mg administered as a single intravenous dose at the onset of active labor. Tramadol is an atypical opioid analgesic with serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibition properties. The dose is within standard clinical ranges for obstetric analgesia. Administration is performed by trained medical personnel following institutional protocols. Participants are monitored for adverse effects including nausea, vomiting, somnolence, dizziness, and hypotension.
Experimental: Paracetamol Group

Participants receive a single dose of paracetamol 1 g intravenously (slow infusion) at the onset of active labor (cervical dilation ≥4 cm with regular contractions).
Droga: Paracetamol (acetaminophen)

Paracetamol 1 g administered as a single intravenous slow infusion at the onset of active labor. Paracetamol is a central analgesic acting through COX-3 inhibition in the central nervous system. It is widely used during pregnancy and labor due to its favorable safety profile. Administration is performed by trained medical personnel following institutional protocols. Participants are monitored for adverse effects including nausea, vomiting, and allergic reactions (rare).
Comparador de placebos: Placebo Group

Participants receive a single dose of 10 mL 0.9% saline solution intravenously at the onset of active labor (cervical dilation ≥4 cm with regular contractions).
Droga: Placebo (Saline Solution)

Placebo consisting of 10 mL 0.9% saline solution administered as a single intravenous dose at the onset of active labor. The appearance and administration procedure are identical to the active interventions to maintain blinding. No pharmacological active ingredients are present. Administration is performed by trained medical personnel following institutional protocols.
