Ablation, Nalbuphine Allergy, Safety

Brief summary

This randomized, positive control, multicentre trial is designed to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of nalbuphine hydrochloride injection and morphine hydrochloride injection for perioperative tumor ablation.

Detailed description

Sedation and analgesia use in tumor ablation is a necessary part of the procedure. However, the optimal medicine for sedation and analgesia for tumor ablation remains controversial. Currently, morphine is a traditional opioid used for pain control and anaesthesia. As no publications have compared the anaesthetic and analgesic effects between nalbuphine and morphine during tumor ablation, this trial aims to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of nalbuphine and morphine for perioperative tumor ablation. In addition, other endpoints in term of perioperative analgesia indexes, such as ablation time, daily dose, analgesia satisfaction, quality of life, and safety, etc. will be compared.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Analgesic efficiencyFrom the begin to 48 hours after procedureNo. effective cases / No.Total cases \* 100%. The numerical rating scale score at the evaluation time point (at rest) ≤3 is considered as effective analgesia.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain intensityFrom the begin to 48 hours after procedurePain assessment using the numerical rating scale (NRS), which is composed of 11 numbers spaced from 0 to 10, with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing most intense pain. Patients chose 1 number to represent their pain intensity.
Analgesia satisfactionUp to 4 hoursScored using visual analogue scale, a 10 cm long scale, marked with 10 markers, both ends of 0 point and 10 points respectively. Participant and medical care personnel mark the corresponding position on a ruler that represents their satisfaction. A score of 0 represents extremely dissatisfied and a score of 10 represents very satisfied.
Duration of ablationUp to 4 hoursDuration of the whole procedure
Rate of continuous ablation without complaining of painUp to 4 hoursNo. ablation without complaining of pain cases / No.Total cases \* 100%
Average daily dosageFrom nalbuphine/morphine use to 48 hours after procedureTotal dose of nalbuphine or morphine / Total days of analgesia
Health-related quality of life7 days after procedureAssessed by telephone, using the standard of Quality of Life Question-Core by the European O-Rganization for Reasearch and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30 scale,Version 3.0). The evaluation of quality of life from a multi-dimensional perspective can better reflect the connotation of quality of life, which has been applied to measure QOL of cancer patients in many countries and regions. A total of 30 questions will be replied with different points. Higher score represents lower quality of life.
Postoperative hospital stayUp to 10 daysDays from the time of ablation to Discharge time
