About this trial

This study is a multicenter, randomized, 1:1 parallel-group controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anrikefon for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) under general anesthesia. Enrolled patients were randomly assigned to two groups (the Anrikefon group and the dizocine group) and received regular intravenous administration of the respective medication following the corresponding surgical procedure. The primary efficacy endpoint was the Quality of Recovery (QoR-15 score) at 24 hours postoperatively, combined with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), sleep quality (RCSQ), and postoperative recovery progress (time to first meal, first flatus, and first ambulation, etc.) for a comprehensive evaluation of efficacy; At the same time, safety indicators-including adverse events (such as nausea and vomiting, and shoulder and back pain), vital signs, and laboratory test results-were systematically monitored during the follow-up period to comprehensively evaluate the clinical utility of this protocol.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

1.18 ≤ Age ≤ 70 years, no gender restriction.

2.American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification I-II.

3.18 kg/m² ≤ BMI ≤ 30 kg/m².

4.Subjects undergoing elective LC under general anesthesia, with an estimated -surgical duration of ≤2 hours (including 1h).

Disqualifiers

1.History of allergy to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, or intraoperative anesthetics specified in the protocol.

2.Severe systemic diseases that, in the investigator's judgment, may significantly increase surgical risk or interfere with pain assessment (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension [SBP ≥170 mmHg and/or DBP ≥105 mmHg], uncontrolled hyperglycemia [fasting blood glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L], recent severe respiratory tract infection, severe gastritis, gastric/duodenal ulcers, upper abdominal surgery within 3 months, severe hepatic impairment [Child-Pugh score >9], chronic kidney disease [eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m²]).

3.Substance abuse: Current drug or alcohol dependency.

4.Special populations: Pregnant or lactating women; any other conditions deemed unsuitable by the investigator.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) scale at 24 hours postoperatively.

The QoR-15 scale was used 24 hours after surgery to assess the quality of patients' postoperative recovery. The total score of the QoR-15 scale ranges from 0 to 150, with higher scores indicating a better quality of postoperative recovery.

Time frame
24 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Resting and movement pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Area Under the Curve (AUC 0-24h) after the initial dose

Pain intensity was assessed using the 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the most intense pain imaginable). NRS scores were recorded at multiple time points between the first postoperative administration and 24 h ± 1 h, both while the subject was at rest and when turning over, to calculate the AUC 0-24 h. A higher AUC value indicates more severe cumulative pain over 24 hours (a worse outcome).

Time frame
24 hours after surgery
2

Resting and movement (turning over) postoperative pain scores using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at 0h, 2h, 8h, 16h, and 24h postoperatively.

Pain intensity was assessed using an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), with scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the most intense pain imaginable); higher scores indicate more severe pain (and a poorer prognosis). Participants' NRS scores were recorded at the following time points: within 5 minutes of the first postoperative medication administration, both at rest and while turning over; 2 hours ± 15 minutes after the first postoperative medication administration; 8 hours (within 30 minutes before the second postoperative medication administration); 16 hours (within 30 minutes before the last postoperative medication administration); and 24 hours ± 1 hour.

Time frame
24 hours after surgery
3

Rescue analgesic utilization: Cumulative consumption of rescue analgesia (meperidine 75 mg) at 0-12h and 0-24h after the first dose, number of rescue interventions, time to first rescue, and the percentage of subjects not requiring rescue analgesia.

Record the cumulative dose of rescue analgesics (pethidine 75 mg) administered 0-12 hours and 0-24 hours after the patient's first postoperative dose, as well as the time at which rescue analgesics were first administered.

Time frame
24 hours after surgery
4

Incidence of shoulder discomfort, back pain, nausea, and vomiting in each group.

During the medical interview, ask the patient whether they have experienced shoulder discomfort, back pain, nausea, or vomiting.

Time frame
24 hours after surgery
