Protocol summary

Study aim
To investigate the effect of subcutaneous injection of metoclopramide, pethidine or ketamine on preventing the postoperative pain after inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia compared to the control group.
Design
Randomized, triple-blinded, controlled and preventive clinical trial with a parallel group design of 104 patients.
Settings and conduct
This clinical trial, will be carried out in Alzahra Hospital, Isfahan, in order to assess and compare the effect of ketamine, pethidine and metoclopramide subcutaneous administration at the incision site, compared to the control group(normal saline) for prevention of pain after inguinal hernia repair surgery. 104 patients will be selected and randomly divided into four groups of 26 patients. Their pain using VAS score, the hemodynamic parameters, extubation and recovery time, drug complications, total rescue analgesic consumption, time to first analgesic request and satisfaction score will be evaluated within the first 24 hours after surgery. the patients, the person injecting the drug, and the person analyzing the data will be unaware of the type of the drugs.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The patients with ages of 18-65 years old and an ASA class I-II who are candidates for elective inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia will be included in our study. Exclusion criteria will include uncontrolled systemic diseases, history of chronic pains in the previous 6 months and any analgesic consumption in the previous 24 hours.
Intervention groups
The patients will receive subcutaneous injection at the incision site, based on their grouping code: 1) 0.5 mg/kg Ketamine; 2) 0.75 mg/kg Petidine; 3) 0.1 mg/kg Metoclopramide & 4) Normal saline.
Main outcome variables
The pain intensity using VAS score within the first 24 hours after surgery.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
104 patients are needed for this study, 26 in each of the four groups. We will prepare 104 envelopes, containing either number 1, 2, 3, or 4. The envelopes will be shuffled randomly. The envelopes will be then handed out for each patient to an anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist will then apply the subcutaneous injections based on the code in the envelopes.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
The patients are unaware of what group they are assigned to, and the drug used. Drugs were prepared in the same and coded syringes by one of the anesthesiology specialists who are not in the study. In addition, the person assessing the outcome is different from the person who performs the injection of drugs and they are not aware of the type of drug injected to the patient.
