Preemptive Analgesia Of Dexmedetomidine Reduces Per-operation Pain

Phase 4
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Pain Management
Noncardiac Surgery
Interventions
Drug: Sodium Chloride 0.9% Inj
Registration Number
NCT06671327
Lead Sponsor
China International Neuroscience Institution
Brief Summary

Background:Preemptive analgesia is the initiation of analgesic regimen before the onset of nociceptive stimulation, preventing the amplification of pain due to peripheral and central sensitization and thereby reducing subsequent pain. Preemptive analgesia of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in the epidural and subarachnoid space can effectively prevent the central sensitization, and significantly reduce the phantom limb pain, residual pain after one year of lower limb amputation.

Objective: To investigate the per-operative effects of DEX preemptive analgesia.

Method:The patients scheduled noncardiac surgery undergoing general anesthesia were selected and divided into DEX group and Placebo group randmized. The DEX group was continuously pumped at 1.5 μg /(kg·h) for 15 minutes before induction, and 15min after induction. The Placebo group was infused with equal amounts of normal saline.The Coprimary efficacy outcome was a composite of analgesia effect, one is the Compliance Rate of IOC2 target in intra-operation, another is the the rate of none-to-slight post-operative pain assessed with the p-NRS≦3 at 12 hours after surgery \[Pain numeric rating scale was assessed with the (Numeric Rating Scale, p-NRS)\].

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary safety outcomeDuring 48 h post-operation

Adverse events and safety outcomes within during 48 h post-operation: hypotension, Hypertension,Bradycardia,Tachycardia,Respiratory depression,Pulse oxygen desaturation and the number of patients which need intervention.

The coprimary efficacy outcomepost-operative 24 hours

The rate of none-to-slight post-operative pain, assessed with the (Numeric Rating Scale)p-NRS\< =3 at 24h post-opertively.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
MAPDuring the whole operation

mean arterial pressure(intraoperative hemodynamics)

EMGDuring the whole operation

Electromyogram Index

SBPDuring the whole operation

systolic blood pressure(intraoperative hemodynamics)

mPONVPostoperative immediately and until 12 hours post-operatively

modified postoperative nausea vomiting (mPONV) score at postoperative immediately (0 hour)and 24 hours post-operatively.

Modified PONV Scoring Criteria:

0 points: No nausea or vomiting.

1. point: Nausea present, no vomiting.

2. points: Nausea with one vomiting episode. Additional points: +1 per additional vomiting episode (e.g., 4 vomiting episodes = 5 points).

Agitationimmediately afer surgery(Hour 0 post-operation)

pNRS at Hour 0, Hour 24, Hour 48, and the Day 7 postoperativelypost-operation p-NRS until 7 days(inculde Hour 0, Hour 24, Hour 48, and the Day 7 timepoints)

Record and compared the pNRS at Hour 0, Hour 24, Hour 48, and the Day 7 postoperatively. (The p-NRS was an 11-point scale with 0 indicating no pain and 10 equaled worst pain).
