Trial Outcomes & Findings for Superior Hypogastric Blockade for Postoperative Pain (NCT NCT03428152)

NCT ID: NCT03428152

Last Updated: 2024-03-13

Results Overview

Patients' pain scores will be scored with a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Each will be scored between 0-10 (0: no pain; 10: worst pain ever) (PACU: Post-anesthesia care unit) VAS-PACU: VAS scores at PACU VAS 1: VAS scores at postoperative 1st hour (ward) VAS 6: VAS scores at postoperative 6th hour (ward) VAS 12: VAS scores at postoperative 12th hour (ward) VAS 24: VAS scores at postoperative 24th hour (ward) VAS 48: VAS scores at postoperative 48th hour (ward)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: postoperative 48 hour follow-up (PACU and ward)

Population: 37 patients with a superior hypogastric block (7 was excluded); 41 patients without a superior hypogastric block (11 was excluded).

Patients' pain scores will be scored with a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Each will be scored between 0-10 (0: no pain; 10: worst pain ever) (PACU: Post-anesthesia care unit) VAS-PACU: VAS scores at PACU VAS 1: VAS scores at postoperative 1st hour (ward) VAS 6: VAS scores at postoperative 6th hour (ward) VAS 12: VAS scores at postoperative 12th hour (ward) VAS 24: VAS scores at postoperative 24th hour (ward) VAS 48: VAS scores at postoperative 48th hour (ward)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: postoperative 48 hour follow-up (PACU and ward)

Total number of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and opioid vials that are applied to patients in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and at ward will be recorded. Target VAS score for NSAID is \>4; if there is no response to NSAID and pain is worsening opioid drugs will be applied (this is our routine clinical practice) NSAID: Diclofenac sodium 75mg per vial; opioid: Tramadol 100mg per vial.
