Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Gastric Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02444897
Lead Sponsor
Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center
Brief Summary

This study was designed to assess the effectiveness of epidural patient-controlled analgesia compared to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy. The investigators hypothesized that epidural PCA would be more effective in pain control than IV PCA even for laparoscopic gastrectomy.
