Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
Zhongda Hospital
Brief Summary

This randomized, positive control, multicentre trial is designed to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of nalbuphine hydrochloride injection and morphine hydrochloride injection for perioperative tumor ablation.

Detailed Description

Sedation and analgesia use in tumor ablation is a necessary part of the procedure. However, the optimal medicine for sedation and analgesia for tumor ablation remains controversial. Currently, morphine is a traditional opioid used for pain control and anaesthesia. As no publications have compared the anaesthetic and analgesic effects between nalbuphine and morphine during tumor ablation, this trial aims to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of nalbuphine and morphine for perioperative tumor ablation. In addition, other endpoints in term of perioperative analgesia indexes, such as ablation time, daily dose, analgesia satisfaction, quality of life, and safety, etc. will be compared.

Tumor ablation using nalbuphine for pain control and anaesthesiaNalbuphineNalbuphine hydrochloride injection (80mg) plus 0.9% saline are combined into 80 ml self-controlled analgesic pump, which will be run 25minutes before ablation under Electrocardiogram monitoring. Single pressure administration if numerical rating scale≥4 points.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Analgesic efficiencyFrom the begin to 48 hours after procedure

No. effective cases / No.Total cases \* 100%. The numerical rating scale score at the evaluation time point (at rest) ≤3 is considered as effective analgesia.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Health-related quality of life7 days after procedure

Assessed by telephone, using the standard of Quality of Life Question-Core by the European O-Rganization for Reasearch and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30 scale,Version 3.0). The evaluation of quality of life from a multi-dimensional perspective can better reflect the connotation of quality of life, which has been applied to measure QOL of cancer patients in many countries and regions. A total of 30 questions will be replied with different points. Higher score represents lower quality of life.

Pain intensityFrom the begin to 48 hours after procedure

Pain assessment using the numerical rating scale (NRS), which is composed of 11 numbers spaced from 0 to 10, with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing "most intense pain". Patients chose 1 number to represent their pain intensity.

Analgesia satisfactionUp to 4 hours

Scored using visual analogue scale, a 10 cm long scale, marked with 10 markers, both ends of 0 point and 10 points respectively. Participant and medical care personnel mark the corresponding position on a ruler that represents their satisfaction. A score of 0 represents extremely dissatisfied and a score of 10 represents very satisfied.

Duration of ablationUp to 4 hours

Duration of the whole procedure

Rate of continuous ablation without complaining of painUp to 4 hours

Postoperative hospital stayUp to 10 days

Days from the time of ablation to Discharge time

Average daily dosageFrom nalbuphine/morphine use to 48 hours after procedure

Total dose of nalbuphine or morphine / Total days of analgesia
