Scientific titleA randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial of preemptive analgesia with bupivacaine in patients undergoing mastectomy for carcinoma of the breast
Study hypothesisTo test a hypothesis that preemptive analgesia with bupivacaine applied in the area of surgical incision in patients undergoing mastectomy for carcinoma of the breast would reduce post-operative acute pain and would reduce the amount of analgesics used during surgery and in post-operative period.

As of 19/03/2010 this record was updated to include the actual end date of this trial; the initial anticipated end date was 31/03/2010.
Ethics approval(s)Local Ethics Committee Medical University of Gdansk approved on the 6th July 2009 (ref: 195/2009)
ConditionBreast cancer
InterventionDepending on random allocation to the specific group, on the day of surgery one of the preparations (40 ml) was prepared:
Group A: 100 mg bupivacainum hydrochloricum dissolved in 0.9 % NaCl solution
Group B (control): 0.9% NaCl

After intubation the preparation was injected subcutaneously along the intended line of incision. Fifteen minutes later surgical procedure was started.

PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Bupivacaine
Primary outcome measureThe quality of multimodal analgesia provided during surgical treatment is assessed in view of fentanyl consumption. In the post-operative period the insensitivity of pain is measured using Visual Analogue Score (VAS) scale ranged 0 - 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain. The patient is assessed straight after waking from anaesthesia and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36 and 48 hours after surgery. In addition, the time of the first morphine dose delivered by patient controlled anaesthesia (PCA), total morphine consumption and the number of attempts to launch PCA during lockout is measured. For assessment of pain insensitivity each patient receive a slide with the VAS scale.
Secondary outcome measures1. Analysis of numerical values of pain intensity according to VAS scale summed up in the following time ranges: 0 - 4 hours, 4 - 12 hours, 12 - 24 hours, 24 - 48 hours, 0 - 12 hours and 12 - 48 hours
2. Comparison between the group of patients reporting pain (VAS 1 - 10) versus the group of patients with no pain complain (VAS = 0) and a comparison between the group of patients with no or only slight pain sensation (VAS 0 - 2) versus the group of patients with stronger pain (VAS greater than 2)
3. Amounts of morphine consumed in the following time ranges: 0 - 1 hours (from the moment of the end of the surgery till the end of the first post-operative hour), 0 - 4 hours, 0 - 12 hours, 1 - 2 hours and 4 - 12 hours
