Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sleep and Endometrial Cancer (NCT NCT00936598)

NCT ID: NCT00936598

Last Updated: 2014-04-24

Results Overview

Pain intensity and pain interference subscales from the Brief Pain Inventory (Short-form) (BPI) will be used to measure pain over the interval following surgery. Both subscales have a range of 0-10 with higher scores indicating worse outcomes (more intense pain and more pain interference).

Participant Flow

Recruitment occurred between January 2010 and May 2010 at Magee Womens Hospital and Mercy Hospital. All participants who were recruited were assigned to one arm or the other.

One participant in the placebo group was found to be ineligible after consent before starting the study (before being provided with take home materials).

Measure
Zolpidem
Participants randomized to the Intervention group will receive the FDA approved dose of zolpidem, (10 mg for women \<65; 5 mg for women \> or = 65 years). For the purposes of this double-blind trial, zolpidem (e.g., Roxane Laboratories) and placebo (sugar) pills will be placed without filler inside two-piece gelatin capsules (DBcaps, Capsugel) and packaged by the Investigational Drug Service (IDS) of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.
Sugar Pill
Participants in the Control group will receive placebo. For the purposes of this double-blind trial, zolpidem (e.g., Roxane Laboratories) and placebo (sugar) pills will be placed without filler inside two-piece gelatin capsules (DBcaps, Capsugel) and packaged by the Investigational Drug Service (IDS) of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: at the clinical follow-up appointment approximately 7-10 days after surgery

Population: Due to limited enrollment in this study, and the small amount of data collected, we are unable to produce any significant results or conclusions.

Pain intensity and pain interference subscales from the Brief Pain Inventory (Short-form) (BPI) will be used to measure pain over the interval following surgery. Both subscales have a range of 0-10 with higher scores indicating worse outcomes (more intense pain and more pain interference).

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: each of the days following surgery until the clinical follow-up appointment

Population: Due to limited enrollment in this study, and the small amount of data collected, we are unable to produce any significant results or conclusions.

Pain severity will be assessed daily following surgery with a visual analogue scale (VAS) completed by participants each night before they go to bed (daily diary PM). VAS pain severity yields a score of 0 to 100, with 100 indicating pain "as bad as it could be."

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: daily from the day of surgery until the clinical follow-up appointment

Population: Due to limited enrollment in this study, and the small amount of data collected, we are unable to produce any significant results or conclusions.

Analgesic medication consumption will be calculated (morphine equivalent daily dose (MEDD)) on a daily basis using data down loaded from the patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump supplemented by information from clinical charts and patient self report on the daily diary form. MEDD starts at zero and does not have an upper limit; higher daily doses indicate more analgesic medication consumption, and thus more pain.
