Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia (OIH) Modulation With Propranolol

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia (OIH) is an entity than has been demonstrated in healthy volunteers and in animal models. Is defined as an increase in the perception to painful stimuli, increasing the opioid requirements and diminishing the pain thresholds to stimuli.

The apparition of OIH is also related to the exposure to opioids during surgery, depending of the dose, the time of exposition and the type of opioid.

This condition can be modulated, specially in the perioperative context. It has been seen in healthy volunteers and in animal models, than the use of propranolol can modulate this phenomena, diminishing the postoperative requirements of analgesia. It is also unknown, the dose of propranolol required to modulate adequately OIH.

The objective of this work is to evaluate the efficacy of propranolol in the modulation of opioid induced hyperalgesia, with lower postoperative requirements of analgesia rescue.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized controlled study, comparing 2 interventions with a placebo. The interventions will be use of propranolol, at different doses, to achieve specific plasmatic concentrations.

80 patients will be required to find a difference of 20% in the primary outcome.

The primary outcome to be measured is the postoperative use of opioids in the post anesthesic care unit.

Secondary outcomes, will be the amount of opioids used in the following 24 hours to the surgery, the time to the first dose of analgesia in the post anesthesic care unit, and the change in the pain thresholds, evaluated as pain by pressure and by tactile sensitivity, before and after surgery.

Also, as a secondary outcome, in a group than will not receive the study drug, we will evaluate the temporal changes in opioid induced hyperalgesia, by pain sensitivity measured in the postoperative hours 2, 4 and 24. 10 patients receiving placebo will be part of this additional measures. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
