Preemptive Genotyping and Pain Management

Completed
Conditions
Pain
Interventions
Procedure: Preemptive genotyping in medical record
Procedure: Genotyping not included in electronic medical record
Registration Number
NCT01813695
Lead Sponsor
Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if testing for genes related to pain and pain management before surgery affects how patients are treated for pain after surgery. The investigators want to know if this information will be used to effectively treat patients for pain after surgery if the clinical staff have a chance to review it before the surgery.

Detailed Description

Purpose: To determine the feasibility of preemptive (preoperative) cytochrome P450 isoenzyme (CYP2D6) testing and the variability of clinical measures (postoperative) in children whose opioid selection and dosing is influenced by preemptive CYP2D6 testing compared to children whose pain management does not include CYP2D6 preemptive testing. Results from this pilot study will inform a future study investigating the utility of preemptive pharmacogenomic testing in children at risk for requiring inpatient acute pain management with opioids.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feasibility of PreEmptive Genotyping TestingFrom initial clinic visit to post-operative discharge, expected average of three months

The Investigator will use descriptive and summary statistics to determine the feasibility of preemptive CYP2D6 testing in children evaluated during a clinic visit for potential surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Analgesia EffectivenessAdmission for surgery, up to two weeks

Total mg/kg 24hr dose of oral opioids

Analgesia ToxicityAdmission for surgery, up to two weeks

1. At least 1 documented ADR;

2. Total number of documented ADRs;

3. Total number of ADR related responses in "Pain Medicine Report" answered "sometimes" or "always";

4. Total number of documented GI related ADRs - nausea (yes/no) and vomiting (yes/no);

5. Total number of documented central nervous system (CNS) ADRs (Modified Ramsay scores \> 4 and respiratory rate (RR) indicative of respiratory depression; and oxygen saturations (SpO2) \< 90% on room air; and need for supplemental oxygen; and response of "always" for "Pain Medicine Report" question, "When you took the pain medicine, how often did it make you fall asleep?"
