The Effectiveness of Tailored Patient Controlled Analgesia Based on Preoperative Pain Sensitivity in Gynecological Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Tailored regimen of IV PCA according to pain sensitivity and Regimen of IV PCA without considering pain sensitivity for Analgesia, Patient-Controlled. Completed, enrolled 118 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Opioids via intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) are widely used for postoperative pain control. However, effective pain control with minimized side effects of analgesic agents is still challenging. Several studies reported that preoperative pain sensitivity measured by quantitative sensory test could predict postoperative pain. Therefore, the investigators planned this trial to evaluate the effectiveness of tailored patient-controlled analgesia based on preoperative pain sensitivity measured by pressure pain threshold in patients undergoing gynecological surgery.

Timeline
Interventions
In tailored group, fentanyl dosage in IV PCA will be determined according to preoperative pain sensitivity. In control, group, fentanyl dosage in IV PCA will be determined without consideration of patient's pain sensitivity.
In control group, regimen of IV PCA will be determined without consideration about patient's pain sensitivity.
