Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ice T Postoperative Multimodal Pain Regimen in FPMRS Surgery (NCT NCT03052816)

NCT ID: NCT03052816

Last Updated: 2023-05-19

Results Overview

Visual Analog Scores (VAS) Scores in the morning of post op day 1. The VAS is a 100mm scale with a score of no pain on the left of the scale, indicating a score of 0, and a score of worst pain on the right, indicating a score of 10. Patient is instructed to score the scale where they feel is appropriate. Each demarcation in between marks is 10mm and after the patient marks their score it is measured using mm from 0mm-100mm. A score of 0 is 0mm and a score of 10 is 100mm.

Participant Flow

Study approved January 30th, 2017. First patient recruited April 2017. Between April 2017 and April 2018, 138 women who were scheduled for surgery were assessed. 72 patients were excluded. Sixty-six patients were randomized to the ICE-T or Standard protocols. Of the 33 patients who were randomized to the ICE-T regimen, three were excluded after randomization. Ultimately, thirty patients in the ICE-T arm and 33 patients in the Standard arm were analyzed.

138 Patients assessed for eligibility. 72 patients excluded: 55 not meeting inclusion criteria and 17 declined to participate. 66 were randomized.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Visual Analog Scores (VAS) Score in the morning of post op day 1 at 7am.

Visual Analog Scores (VAS) Scores in the morning of post op day 1. The VAS is a 100mm scale with a score of no pain on the left of the scale, indicating a score of 0, and a score of worst pain on the right, indicating a score of 10. Patient is instructed to score the scale where they feel is appropriate. Each demarcation in between marks is 10mm and after the patient marks their score it is measured using mm from 0mm-100mm. A score of 0 is 0mm and a score of 10 is 100mm.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Quality of Recovery scores on post op day 1

Quality of Recovery scores on post op day 1. The QoR-40 is a 40-item quality of recovery score measuring 5 dimensions: physical comfort (12 items), emotional state (9 items), physical independence (5 items), psychological support (7 items), and pain (7 items). Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale. The QoR-40 has a possible score of 40 (extremely poor quality of recovery) to 200 (excellent quality of recovery). It was specifically designed to measure a patient's health status after surgery and anesthesia, and it has been proposed as a measure of outcome in clinical trials.
