Study summary

Objective: To investigate the effect of oliceridine on remifentanil-induced postoperative hyperalgesia and to observe its effects on postoperative pain scores, quality of recovery, and adverse reactions.Methods: A total of 130 patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the oliceridine group (Group O) or the sufentanil group (Group S), with 65 patients in each group. Remifentanil was used for anesthesia maintenance in both groups. Before skin closure, patients received either 0.02 mg/kg oliceridine (Group O) or 0.1 μg/kg sufentanil (Group S) via intravenous injection. The primary outcome measure was the mechanical pain threshold around the incision at 6 h postoperatively. Secondary outcome measures included mechanical pain thresholds around the incision and on the non-dominant forearm at 30 min, 6 h, 24 h, and 48 h postoperatively; Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores; number of effective patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) compressions; incidence of rescue analgesia; 24 h postoperative Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score; extubation time; post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay duration; and incidence of adverse reactions within 48 h postoperatively.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mechanical pain threshold around the incision at 6 hours post-surgery

    Mechanical pain thresholds around the surgical incision were measured using a von Frey tactile esthesiometer kit.

    Time frame: 6 hours post-surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mechanical pain threshold around the incision

    Measurements around the incision were taken at the midpoint of the incision and at 5 cm from each end of the incision, and the mean value of all measurement points was calculated.

    Time frame: Preoperatively,at 30 minutes post-surgery, at 24 hours post-surgery, at 48 hours post-surgery

  2. Mechanical pain threshold on the non-dominant forearm

    Measurements on the non-dominant forearm were taken at 3, 6, and 9 cm from the antecubital crease, and the mean of the three values was calculated.

    Time frame: Preoperatively, at 30 minutes post-surgery, at 6 hours post-surgery, at 24 hours post-surgery, at 48 hours post-surgery

  3. Operative time

    Time frame: Intraoperatively

  4. Extubation time

    Extubation time, defined as the time from the end of surgery to tracheal extubation

    Time frame: From the end of surgery until tracheal extubation, assessed for up to 2 hours postoperatively

  5. PACU stay duration

    PACU stay duration, defined as the time from PACU admission to PACU discharge

    Time frame: From PACU admission until PACU discharge, assessed for up to 4 hours after PACU admission

  6. Intraoperative propofol consumption

    Time frame: Intraoperatively

  7. Intraoperative remifentanil consumption

    Time frame: Intraoperatively

  8. Number of patients receiving atropine

    Time frame: Intraoperatively

  9. Number of patients receiving vasopressors

    Time frame: Intraoperatively

  10. MAP

    Mean arterial pressure (MAP)

    Time frame: Preoperatively (baseline), 1 minute after skin closure , at tracheal extubation, immediately before leaving the operating room

  11. HR

    heart rate (HR)

    Time frame: Preoperatively (baseline), 1 minute after skin closure , at tracheal extubation, immediately before leaving the operating room

  12. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score

    Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain score ranging from 0 to 10; higher scores indicate worse pain.

    Time frame: at 30 minutes post-surgery, at 6 hours post-surgery, at 24 hours post-surgery, at 48 hours post-surgery

  13. Number of effective PCA compressions

    Time frame: From end of surgery to 48 hours post-surgery

  14. Number of patients requiring rescue analgesia

    Time frame: From end of surgery to 48 hours post-surgery

  15. Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15)

    Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire score ranging from 0 to 150 (15 items, each scored 0-10); higher scores indicate better quality of postoperative recovery.

    Time frame: at 24 hours post-surgery

  16. Incidence of adverse reactions

    ncidence of adverse reactions: The occurrence of adverse events including hypotension, bradycardia, shivering, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), dizziness, drowsiness, respiratory depression, and pruritus within 48 h postoperatively was recorded.
