Guided image meditation has been shown to alter the functional circuits of the brain to alleviate pain by mediating breathing and thoughts. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether the intervention with guided image meditation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy can effectively alleviate postoperative pain, reduce anxiety, promote sleep quality, and increase pain control satisfaction for the patients with gallstones.

NCT ID: NCT04350346 Recruiting - Gallstone Clinical Trials

The Comparative Analysis Between Motilitone and Gasmotin for the Symptom Relief in Gallstone Patients With Functional Dyspepsia

Start date: March 25, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

- (Cause of cholelithiasis) Recently, the average age has increased, and the occurrence of gallstones has increased as the dietary life has been westernized due to the improvement of socio-economic level. When cholesterol increases, the occurrence of gallstones increases. Factors include high-calorie high-fat diet, increasing age, women, pregnant women, obesity, and oral contraceptives. There are cases. As another cause, gallstones occur well even when bile stasis occurs due to a decrease in motility of the gallbladder. These are conditions that lower mobility. And cholelithiasis has a genetic tendency in about 30%. In addition, since the eating habits of the family are similar, the genetic factors and the eating habits overlap, which often leads to the occurrence of cholelithiasis in the family. - (symptoms of cholelithiasis) In most cases, complaints of non-specific digestive system symptoms, such as abdominal bloating, nausea, and especially indigestion after fatty diet, are often observed. According to domestic reports, the nonspecific symptoms complained by patients with cholelithiasis were indigestion, flatulence, frequent belching, nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and vomiting. In general, many healthy people without gallstones complain of non-specific digestive system symptoms in 50% of cases, and there is a possibility that functional gastrointestinal diseases such as dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, and gastritis may be accompanied by these digestive system symptoms. It is difficult to know whether it is unrelated to gallstones. Symptoms caused by typical cholelithiasis usually have a characteristic that they often improve on their own after a few hours, and the start and end of the symptoms are relatively clear and repeatedly occur. In addition, various symptoms are displayed depending on the presence or absence of inflammation and progression. - (Principle of treatment of cholelithiasis) 1. Medical treatment: Medical treatment of gallstones is a method of dissolving using drugs to treat cholesterol gallstones in gallbladder stones. In 1973, Nakano et al. [1] published the first example of dissolving cholesterol gallstones using ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Currently, UDCA is the only drug administered to patients with asymptomatic or mild symptoms of cholelithiasis in actual clinical practice, and there is no specific prescription drug. 2. Surgical treatment: In the case of indications of cholecystectomy, acute cholecystitis, severe symptoms, chronic cholecystitis with severe thickening of the gallbladder wall, repeated and severe symptoms, porcelain gallbladder, Patients with gallstones of 3 cm or more in size, patients with anomalous pancreato-biliary duct unions, or gallbladder polyps. - (Study on increasing gallbladder contractility) So far, there have been studies that some drugs increase or decrease gallbladder contractility. Catnach SM et al. [2] reported that erythromycin increased gallbladder contractility in patients with autonomic neuropathy due to diabetes. Sengupta S et al. [3] reported that indoramin (α-adrenergic antagonist), a prokinetic agent, increased gallbladder contractility in patients with cholelithiasis, resulting in a significant decrease in gallbladder volume. Motilitone® developed in Korea is a gastrointestinal motility stimulator that stimulates 5-HT4 receptors to increase acetylcholine secretion and has a mechanism of contracting smooth muscles, improving symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia in cholelithiasis It is expected to be able to give, and it is thought to have the effect of preventing the crystallization of bile acids due to an increase in the gallbladder contractility, thereby preventing the formation of gallstones and preventing newly generated gallstones. To date, there are no special drugs for dyspepsia or pain improvement in patients with cholelithiasis. It is hypothesized that administration of motilitone® will increase the contractile capacity of the gallbladder, thereby improving digestion and preventing further formation of gallstones. As a control group, Gasmotin® was administered to improve functional dyspepsia, and the degree of symptom improvement was measured and compared by completing the Symptom Score Questionnaire for Indigestion between the two groups.

NCT ID: NCT04308993 Completed - Biliary Stones Clinical Trials

Start date: November 1, 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a prospective, descriptive, observational research study designed to observe and document the clinical practice by domain experts, and how the knowledge of new findings that are published in the medical literature affect clinical decision making. The study will evaluate risk factors and co-variants, including genetic variants that are associated with disease progression such as pain, inflammation, organ dysfunction, disability and quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT04290104 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Cholecystitis; Acute, With Cholelithiasis

Is an Antibiotic Prescription Required After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Start date: October 15, 2020
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The need for antibiotics to reduce surgical site infection after cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis is still controversial. The researchers aimed to investigate the effect of antibiotics prescribed on surgical site infection when discharged to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis.

NCT ID: NCT04279223 Active, not recruiting - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Does Using a 5 mm Telescope in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Reduce the Incidence of Trocar Site Hernia?

Start date: October 15, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

10 mm telescope is generally used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. The use of a 10 mm telescope, although rare, causes the development of a trocar site hernia. İnvestigators thought that the incidence of trocar site hernia would decrease by using a 5 mm trocar, and investigators planned a study.

NCT ID: NCT04250402 Recruiting - Gastric Cancer Clinical Trials

The Incidence of Gallstones After Gastric Cancer Surgery

Start date: February 14, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Through previous clinical observations and literature, we found that the incidence of gallstones in patients after gastric cancer radical resection was significantly higher than that in the normal population (4%). However, its pathogenesis has not been clarified. We compare the risk of gallbladder stones after four different radical gastric cancer surgical methods, in order to provide prevention and treatment strategies for people with gallstones after gastric cancer.

NCT ID: NCT04228835 Completed - Cholelithiasis Clinical Trials

Does ICG Fluorescence Cholangiography Identify Critical View of Safety Earlier in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Start date: March 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Achievement of critical view of safety (CVS) is recommended to reduce risk of hilar injury in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence cholangiography, a novel technique of real time biliary visualization, is postulated to assist dissection during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). However, its use in providing a faster and safer LC has yet to be established. The main objective of this study is to evaluate whether the use of ICG enhanced fluorescence cholangiography will help in earlier identification critical view of safety during LC.

NCT ID: NCT04222803 Not yet recruiting - Viral Hepatitis Clinical Trials

VIRal Hepatitis and GAllstone Disease Study

VIRGAD
Start date: January 15, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The study aims to investigate possible associations between ongoing viral hepatitis (i.e. hepatitis A, B, C or E virus infection) and ultrasound or computed tomography-verified gallstone disease.

NCT ID: NCT04213092 Completed - Clinical trials for Choledocholithiasis With Cholecystitis With Obstruction

Single Setting ERCP and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a Safe Procedure in Patients With Cholecysto-Choledocholithiasis

Start date: November 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The ideal management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis is an open cholecystectomy (OC) with the common bile duct (CBD) exploration worldwide. The single setting 2-stage approach- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST), and CBD clearance followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) offers an advantage, mainly by reducing the hospital stay, the cost, and the morbidity. Investigators did a prospective study in patients admitted for the management of the cholecysto-choledocholithiasis in the Department of Surgery at the Lumbini Medical College and Teaching Hospital from November 2012- October 2015. They underwent 2-stage ERCP+LC in a single setting and investigators compared them with 2-stage OC+CBD exploration in a single setting approach. The patients with the open procedure were the investigator's control groups. All the included cases in the study were elective.
