Protocol summary

Study aim
To evaluate the efficacy of adding low dose naloxone to intraoperative infusion of remifentanil in preventing the post-operative acute remifentanil induced hyperalgesia in laparotomic hysterectomy
Design
Randomized controlled, parallel groups, double blinded clinical trial, 75 patients undergoing , three groups of remifentanil-naloxone , remifentanil and control
Settings and conduct
After administration of pre-medication midazolam and fentanyl and lidocaine anesthesia was induced by propofol and atracurium After tracheal intubation, isoflurane and muscle relaxants are used for maintenance of anesthesia, when necessary. In this study, both the patients and the evaluators are blinded to the type of intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: ASA I-III patients; aged between 18 to 75 years scheduled for elective hysterectomy Exclusion criteria ; uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, neurologic disorders, psychologic disorders which needs treatment, inflammatory and renal diseases, drug abuse, routine use or taking NSAIDs, opioids, allergy or contraindication to anesthetic agents or pain medications, history of any type of chronic pain needs medical or interventional treatments and patients receiving ketamine, antipsychotic or gabapentinoids
Intervention groups
Remifentanil-Naloxone (patients receiving remifentanil 0.3 µg/kg/min and low dose naloxone 0.25 µg/kg/h in 50 ml normal saline, Remifentanil ( patients receiving remifentanil 0.3 µg/kg/min), and control (patients receiving an infusion of 50 ml normal saline
Main outcome variables
The severity of hyperalgesia and allodynia is assessed by static tactile tests. The severity of pain in a static tactile test is reported as VAS. Patients are asked to grade their highest pain severity from 1 to 10 in 0.5, 1, 6,12, and 24 hours after surgery
