NCT06041425

Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomized, double-blind trial was to compare the effects of preemptive Oxycodone and sufentanil at the same dose on pain and inflammatory response after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma. To study the effect of single dose intravenous injection of Oxycodone and sufentanil before TACE on inflammatory reaction after TACE; And (ii) evaluate the effects of different opioid drugs on pain and nausea/vomiting after TACE.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Intraoperative pain intensity during TACE.

    Pain intensity is assessed by numerical rating scale pain scores (0-10,0 represents painless,10 represents intolerable pain;higher scores mean a worse outcome).

    Intraoperative (From the beginning of TACE to the end of TACE.)

  • Pain intensity at 1hour after the end of TACE.

    Pain intensity is assessed by numerical rating scale pain scores(0-10,0 represents painless,10 represents intolerable pain;higher scores mean a worse outcome).

    From 0 to 1 hour after the end of TACE.

  • Pain intensity at 6hours after the end of TACE.

    Pain intensity is assessed by numerical rating scale pain scores(0-10,0 represents painless,10 represents intolerable pain;higher scores mean a worse outcome).

    From 1hour to 6 hours after the end of TACE.

  • Pain intensity at 12hours after the end of TACE.

    Pain intensity is assessed by numerical rating scale pain scores(0-10,0 represents painless,10 represents intolerable pain;higher scores mean a worse outcome).

    From 6hours to 12 hours after the end of TACE.

  • Pain intensity at 24hours after the end of TACE.

    Pain intensity is assessed by numerical rating scale pain scores(0-10,0 represents painless,10 represents intolerable pain;higher scores mean a worse outcome).

    From 12 hours to 24 hours after the end of TACE.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • The WBC count

    24 hours

  • Neutrophil percentage

    24 hours

  • Level of CRP

    24 hours

  • Level of IL-6

    24 hours

  • Nausea and vomiting scale

    24 hours

Study Arms (2)

Oxycodone

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients were given 0.1mg/kg oxycodone 15 minutes before transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).

Drug: Oxycodone

Sufentanil

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patients were given 0.1μg/kg sufentanil 15 minutes before transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).

Drug: Sufentanil

Interventions

The patients were given 0.1mg/kg oxycodone 15 minutes before transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). WBC count, neutrophil percentage, CRP, and IL-6 were used as inflammatory markers and measured before TACE (1 day before TACE) and 24 hours after TACE. Assess pain and side effects during TACE and within 24 hours after TACE. Pain was evaluated using the 11 point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).

Also known as: preemptive analgesia
