Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Using Postoperative Ketamine and Exploring the Effect on Endometriosis Pain (UPKEEEP) Study (NCT NCT05229653)

NCT ID: NCT05229653

Last Updated: 2025-03-28

Results Overview

VAS is a tool widely used to measure pain. A patient is asked to indicate his/her perceived pain intensity (most commonly) along a 100 mm horizontal line, and this rating is then measured from the left edge (=VAS score). The total score range is 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable); the higher the score, the worse the pain.

Measure
Low-Dose Ketamine (LDK) Treatment Group
Ketamine: Participants in this arm will receive intravenously (IV) ketamine (0.6 mg/kg) while recovering in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) on the day of the surgery after subject has been deemed to be stable (hemodynamically stable, awake). The study physician will administer the study intervention via an intravenous pump to deliver 0.6 mg/kg ketamine over at least 30 minutes.
Control Group
Placebo: Participants in this arm will receive intravenously (IV) matching equal dose of placebo while recovering in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) on the day of the surgery after subject has been deemed to be stable (hemodynamically stable, awake). The study physician will administer the study intervention via an intravenous pump to deliver equal volume saline over at least 30 minutes.

GAD-7 consists of 7 problems. Participants report how often they have been bothered by the 7 problems over the last 2 weeks on a Likert Scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The total score range is 0-21; the higher the score, the more severe the anxiety. 0-4=minimal anxiety, 5-9=mild, 10-14=moderate, 15-21=severe anxiety.

MADRS is a 10-item diagnostic questionnaire that psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders. Each item is rated on a 0-6 scale, resulting in a total score range of 0-60. The higher the score, the more severe the depression.

A Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) patient self-report tool used to measure the wide range of effects that endometriosis can have on patients' lives, including work, relationship with child/children, sexual relationship, feelings about medical profession, feelings about treatment, and feelings about infertility. The EHP-30 questions are asked regarding endometriosis in the previous 4 weeks and are answered on a 5-point Likert scale, where 0=never, 1=rarely, 2=sometimes, 3=often, and 4=always. Raw scores for the questions within a scale are summed and transformed to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating worse HRQoL.
