Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical trial to compare pain relief between methoxyflurane and any analgesic treatment used in usual clinical practice, in patients with trauma and associated pain, treated in Spanish emergency units.


Clinical Trial Description

Open, randomized clinical trial to compare emergency pain relief between methoxyflurane and standard of care in patients with trauma and associated pain, treated in Spanish emergency units.

Methoxyflurane is a fluorinated ethyl methyl ether, with the chemical name 2:2-dichloro-1:1-difluoroethyl methyl ether. It belongs to the fluorinated hydrocarbon group of volatile anaesthetics. It is inhaled as a vapour at low (sub-anaesthetic) concentrations to achieve an analgesic effect for the management of pain.

In Europe countries, where methoxyflurane is already marketed, it is indicated for emergency relief of moderate to severe pain in conscious adult patients with trauma and associated pain.

On the other hand, current clinical practice includes a variety of analgesic agents, with the choice of which to employ based on consideration of the risk-benefit factors of each class of drug, as well as the type of pain, its severity, and the risk of adverse effects.

The main objective of this study is to assess Methoxyflurane's significant advantage in terms of anaglesic effectiveness, as it is known as a rapidly acting, non-narcotic analgesic for the treatment of emergency pain. ;
