Pre-emptive Intravenous Morphine for Acute Post-craniotomy Pain.
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Morphine: Intraoperative intravenous administration of 0.08 mg/kg morphine at dura closure.
Nacl 0.9%: Intraoperative intravenous administration of 0.08 ml/kg NaCl 0.9% at dura closure.
Study summary
We propose a double-blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of intravenously administered morphine at surgery conclusion on acute postoperative pain in patients recovering from craniotomy surgery. Participating adults having craniotomy surgery will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to intraoperative intravenous administration of 0.08 mg/kg morphine at dura closure, or a matching placebo.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- First NRS pain score. — Up to 1 hour from PACU admission
The numeric rating scale (NRS), a validated tool used to assess patients' self-reported pain level, will be taken at admission to the post anesthesia care unit (PACU). NRS score ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores representing worse pain.
