简要总结
RATIONALE: Morphine and ibuprofen help lessen pain caused by pleurodesis. It is not yet known whether one drug is more effective than the other in lessening pleurodesis-related pain or whether the size of the chest drain tube affects pain.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying ibuprofen to see how well it works compared with morphine in treating pain in patients undergoing pleurodesis for malignant pleural effusion.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To evaluate the efficacy of a non-steroidal based regimen comprising ibuprofen in decreasing post-pleurodesis pain as compared to an opiate-based regimen comprising morphine sulfate in patients with malignant pleural effusion.
- To evaluate whether chest drain size influences the amount of post-pleurodesis pain.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to histological tissue type (mesothelioma vs non-mesothelioma) and thoracoscopic procedure. Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients undergo pleurodesis after placement of a large bore chest drain (24F) on day 0 and receive oral ibuprofen 3 times daily for 3 days. The chest tube is removed on day 3.
- Arm II: Patients undergo pleurodesis after placement of a small bore chest drain (12F) on day 0 and receive oral ibuprofen 3 times daily for 3 days. The chest tube is removed on day 3.
- Arm III: Patients undergo pleurodesis after placement of a large bore chest drain (24F) on day 0 and receive oral morphine sulfate 4 times daily for 3 days. The chest tube is removed on day 3.
- Arm IV: Patients undergo pleurodesis after placement of a small bore chest drain (12F) on day 0 and receive oral morphine sulfate 4 times daily for 3 days. The chest tube is removed on day 3.

- Change in Inflammatory markers from day 0 and day 3 (e.g., CRP, WCC) from day 0 to day 3
- Change in alveolar PO2-arterial PO2 (A-a) gradient (on air) on day 0 and day 3
- Continuous oximetry monitoring from day 0 to day 3 (on air unless saturation < 90%)
- Average conscious level measured by Glasgow Coma scale from day 0 to day 3
- Drug- and talc-related adverse reactions
- Complications from chest drain insertion
- Presence of chronic chest wall pain assessed at all follow-up visits
