Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine whether epidural analgesia is superior to placebo, in reducing pain (measured in NRS) in patients after open lumbar decompression surgery.;Secondary Objective: To determine whether epidural analgesia leads to a reduction in cumulative opioid use until 48 hours postoperatively To determine whether epidural analgesia leads to higher patient satisfaction than placebo. To determine whether epidural analgesia leads to shorter hospital stay. To determine whether epidural analgesia leads to less adverse events. ;Primary end point(s): Postoperative pain scores (NRS) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: recovery entry, recovery exit, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperative | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Total postoperative opioid consumption at 48 hours postoperatively with interim measurements at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours. Patient satisfaction (measured by QoR-40), hospital stay in days, number of adverse events.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: opioid consumption: 48 hours postoperatively with interim measurements at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours. patient satisfaction: 24 hours after surgery Hospital stay in days adverse events 30 days after surgery | — |
