NCT07671612

Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a photobiomodulation (PBM) patch (Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing) and an enhanced PBM patch (Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing EX), compared with a placebo patch, for postoperative pain relief following urological surgery, including nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff resection (NU+BCR) and adrenalectomy (ADRX).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time-Weighted Mean Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Pain Score at Rest

    The preoperative baseline VAS pain score at rest will be recorded before surgery. Postoperative VAS pain scores at rest will be assessed at 1 hour ±30 minutes, 2±1 hours, 6±2 hours, 12±2 hours, and 24±2 hours after surgery. The time-weighted mean VAS pain score at rest (Scale: 0-100 mm; higher scores indicate worse pain) during the first 24 hours postoperatively will be analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). Sensitivity analysis will be performed using the area under the curve from baseline to 120 hours (AUC₀-₁₂₀h) with an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model.

    Baseline (preoperatively), and 1 hour ±30 minutes, 2±1 hours, 6±2 hours, 12±2 hours, and 24±2 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Total Postoperative Analgesic Consumption

    Up to 120 hours postoperatively

  • Proportion of Patients Achieving Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS)

    1 hour ±30 minutes, 2±1 hours, 6±2 hours, 12±2 hours, 24±2 hours, 48±2 hours, 72±2 hours, 96±2 hours, and 120±2 hours postoperatively

  • Clinical Recovery Progress

    From end of surgery to hospital discharge, assessed up to 5 days postoperatively

  • Quality of Life Improvement

    Baseline (preoperative) to 120 hours postoperatively

  • Safety Assessment

    Up to 120 hours postoperatively

Study Arms (3)

Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing

EXPERIMENTAL

The Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing will be applied to the participant immediately upon arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after surgery.

Device: Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing

Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing EX

EXPERIMENTAL

The Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing EX will be applied to the participant immediately upon arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after surgery.

Device: Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing EX

Placebo Patch

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The Placebo Patch will be applied to the participant immediately upon arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after surgery.

Device: Placebo Patch

Interventions

A photobiomodulation (PBM) patch designed for postoperative pain relief. The patch will be applied immediately upon arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after urological surgery.

Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing

A photobiomodulation (PBM) patch designed for postoperative pain relief. The patch will be applied immediately upon arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after urological surgery.

Super Vi PBM Patch - Soothing EX

An placebo patch visually identical to the study patches but without therapeutic photobiomodulation delivery. The patch will be applied immediately upon arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after urological surgery.

Placebo Patch
