Effect of Melatonin on Postoperative Pain After Simple Nephrectomy: A Randomized Double-Blinded Controlled Study
Abstract
The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of melatonin in the management of postoperative pain in patients undergoing simple nephrectomy regarding:
* Pain score (VAS).
* Total Morphine consumption is 1st 24 hr.
* Time to the 1st rescue analgesia.
* Intra-operative and post-operative hemodynamics.
* Anxiety.
* Patient satisfaction.
* Adverse events.
Conditions: Pain Score (VAS) at 24 h Postoperatively.
Primary outcome: Pain score (VAS) at 24 h postoperatively.
Enrollment: 40 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 40 participants or records.
