Comparison of Hemodynamic Stability and Pain Control

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Registration Number
NCT03966599
Lead Sponsor
Isfahan University of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

This study was designed to evaluate whether patient position (lateral vs. prone) has affect on the need for analgesia and onset of pain after surgery.

Detailed Description

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy is the preferred surgical treatment in many cases of kidney stones which is performed in different positions such as prone, lateral, and supine. However, we do not have enough evidence comparing prone and lateral positioning regarding the need for analgesia and onset of pain after surgery. This study was designed to evaluate whether patient position (lateral vs. prone) has affect on the need for analgesia and onset of pain after surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
pain intensity in VAS score and need for analgesics in milligramat one year after surgery

determining pain with visual analogue scale (VAS) and need for analgesics (milligram) in lateral versus prone position. The visual analogue scale (VAS) is usually presented as a 100-mm horizontal line on which the patient's pain intensity is represented by a point between the extremes of "no pain at all" and "worst pain imaginable." Its simplicity, reliability, and validity, as well as its ratio scale properties, make the VAS the optimal tool for describing pain severity or intensity.

Secondary Outcome Measures
