Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) and Its Effect on the Postoperative Pain Experience Following Intra-abdominal Surgery

Wake Forest University Health Sciences·interventional·Posted Jun 28, 2011·Updated Sep 5, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Thigh Tourniquet (VBM Single Use Tourniquet Cuff Items 20-34-722SLZ-1) and Sham RIPC for Pain. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Remote Ischemic PreConditioning (RIPC) will improve the postoperative pain experience in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Although abdominal surgery can be a lifesaving procedure many people have a significant amount of postsurgical pain. Severe postsurgical pain may lead to chronic pain in some people. "Remote Ischemic Preconditioning" may reduce the amount of postsurgical pain. Remote ischemic preconditioning is done by inflating a balloon (very similar to a blood pressure cuff) on the leg until it blocks blood flow for a few minutes. The cuff is then deflated and blood flow resumes. The process is repeated up to three times. This procedure causes the body to increase its natural pain relief system that may help to decrease the amount of postsurgical pain.
