Brief summary

It has been shown that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists (such as ketamine) potentiate analgesic drug's efficacy. Polyamines are allosteric modulators of NMDA receptors. In animal studies, polyamine-free diet has shown antinociceptive properties. This research aims at evaluating analgesic properties of polyamine-low diet after laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in an ambulatory setting.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain intensity for the 7 days7 daysPain intensity is evaluated by the number of tablets of Tramadol taken by the patients

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain scores measured on the day of surgery,12 hoursPain score (numerical scale from 0 to 10) measured in mid-afternoon, resting lying down, coughing and mobilization (from lying to sitting position)
frequency of impeded hospital discharge the day of surgery24 hoursFailure of outpatient care (i.e. the patient cannot leave the hospital the day of surgery)
Each day pain7 daysPain scores (numerical scale from 0 to 10) assessed daily from J1 ( after surgery) to J7 in mid afternoon , lying at rest position , coughing and mobilization (from lying to sitting position) .
Residual pain30 daysPain score (numerical scale from 0 to 10)
