Intraoperative S-ketamine to Prevent Postoperative Hyperalgesia in Patients Undergoing Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery

Not Applicable
Conditions
Postoperative Hyperalgesia
Interventions
Drug: saline
Registration Number
NCT05016128
Lead Sponsor
Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

Postoperative hyperalgesia (POH) is a paradoxical clinical state of increased sensation of pain or increased sensitivity to non-painful stimuli at the site of surgery or at a surrounding area that was not directly injured. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) and nociceptive-induced hyperalgesia (NIH) are the two main causes of POH.N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activation plays a central role in the development of POH.S-ketamine,which is a NMDA-receptor antagonist,has been on the market in china since 2019.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of S-ketamine on POH and chronic postoperative pain after video-assisted thoracic surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the mechanical pain threshold around the incisionDay1 after surgery

the mechanical pain threshold was assessed by using 10 calibrated (4-300 g mm-2 ) hand-held Von Frey filaments (North Coast Medical Inc.USA)around the skin incision.The per pain threshold was defined as the smallest force (g mm-2 ) necessary to bend a von Frey hair, and perceived by the patient as three consecutive painful stimuli with approximately 10 s elapsing between two successive stimuli. The mechanical pain threshold was recorded as the mean of 6 measurements at 2 cm vertically above and below the middle and bilateral edges of the incision.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the mechanical pain threshold on the forearmthe day before surgery

the mechanical pain threshold was assessed by using 10 calibrated (4-300 g mm-2 )hand-held Von Frey filaments (North Coast Medical Inc. USA)on the nondominant inner forearm The per pain threshold was defined as the smallest force (g mm-2 ) necessary to bend a von Frey hair, and perceived by the patient as three consecutive painful stimuli with approximately 10 s elapsing between two successive stimuli. The mechanical pain threshold was recorded as the mean of 3 measurements at 3, 6, and 9 cm distal to the middle of the antecubital crease

the mechanical pain thresholdDay2 after surgery

the mechanical pain threshold was assessed by using 10 calibrated (4-300 g mm-2 )hand-held Von Frey filaments (North Coast Medical Inc.USA)on the nondominant inner forearm The per pain threshold was defined as the smallest force (g mm-2 ) necessary to bend a von Frey hair, and perceived by the patient as three consecutive painful stimuli with approximately 10 s elapsing between two successive stimuli.

The mechanical pain threshold was recorded as the mean of 6 measurements at 2 cm vertically above and below the middle and bilateral edges of the incision.

postoperative pain scoresup to day2 after surgery

postoperative pain scores was assessed by using numeric rating scales(0-10,0 means"better ',10 means "worst") at 6 time points:1 hours,3 hours,6 hours, 12 hours,24 hours, and 48 hours after the operation. The worst pain score during each interval was recorded.

Anxiety scale scoresup to day2 after surgery

Anxiety scale scores was assessed by Hamilton Anxiety Scale at three time points:the day before surgery, day1 after surgery and day2 after surgery.

If the total score exceeds 29 points, it may be severe anxiety. If the score exceeds 21 points, there must be obvious anxiety. If the score exceeds 14, there must be anxiety. If it exceeds 7 points, there may be anxiety. If it is less than 6, the patient has no anxiety symptoms.

Depression scale scoresup to day2 after surgery

Depression scale scores was assessed by Hamilton Depression Scale at three time points:the day before surgery, day1 after surgery and day2 after surgery.

The total score is less than 7 points, normal; 7-17 points, there may be depression. 17-24 points, there must be depression, more than 24 points, severe depression.

The hyperalgesic area around the incisionup to day2 after surgery

The hyperalgesic area around the surgical incision was measured by the von Frey filament that in postoperative pain threshold testing evoked pain on the opposite side. Stimulation was started far from the surgical incision and moved toward the incision in 0.5 cm steps until the patient reported a distinct change in pain perception. The first point at which the patient reported a more painful, sore or sharp feeling was marked, and the distance to the incision was measured . Finally, we calculated the incidence and extension of peri-incisional mechanical hyperalgesia
