Brief Summary

Postoperative pain is common, and the pain intensity can be moderate to severe depending on the site of surgery during the first few days after surgery, and an estimated 15% to 45% experience chronic postsurgical pain. When poorly controlled, the pain can have a significant effect on patient recovery. Proper management of postoperative pain is needed to relieve suffering and lead to earlier mobilization, shortened hospital stay, reduced hospital costs, and increased patient satisfaction. The currently proposed clinical use of Dinalbuphine Sebacate is to administer a single dose of NALDEBAIN® intramuscularly approximately 12 to 24 hours prior to the planned surgery for pain relief. Several clinical studies of NALDEBAIN® have been published, such as the use in laparotomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, toward the arthroscopic shoulder surgery, no article or report has been available publicly yet. The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of single doses of intramuscular NALDEBAIN® on patients scheduled to undergo arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Acute postoperative pain intensity

    Mean pain intensity scored by numeric rating scale (NRS). Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was a 11-point scale on which 0 represented "no pain" and 10 represented the" worst pain ever".

    Within 1 day after surgery

  • Brief Pain Inventory

    Mean scores of each item in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Patients fill out 11 different NRS that ask about pain intensity and the effect of the pain on their ability to function during various activities of daily living. The severity scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the most severe pain).

    Within 1 day after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Postoperative pain intensity

    In postanesthesia care unit (PACU), and 6 hours, 7 days, 90 days, and 180 days after surgery

  • Consumption of analgesics

    Within 7 days after surgery

  • Time to the first dose of rescue medication

    Up to 7 days after surgery

  • Brief Pain Inventory

    At baseline, 1 day, 7 days, 90 days, 180 days after surgery

  • Satisfaction assessed by a 5-point scale

    7 days after surgery

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
