Summary

The purpose of this randomized, double-blind trial was to compare the effects of preemptive Oxycodone and sufentanil at the same dose on pain and inflammatory response after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma. To study the effect of single dose intravenous injection of Oxycodone and sufentanil before TACE on inflammatory reaction after TACE; And (ii) evaluate the effects of different opioid drugs on pain and nausea/vomiting after TACE.

Detailed description

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is currently considered as the treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Due to sudden blockage of the main blood vessels supplying the tumor, local liver tissue swells and the tumor rapidly necroses. A large number of inflammatory mediators, including white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6), will inevitably appear in TACE induced ischemic and/or necrotic tissue reactions, which contribute to the development of pain. Pain can worsen the patient's quality of life, prolong hospital stay, and increase costs. 93% of patients require opioid therapy during and after TACE. Opioids are the most common drugs for treating pain. There are three types of opioid receptors, μ Receptors κ Receptors and δ Receptors. Sufentanil is a highly selective drug μ Receptor agonists have fast onset and strong analgesic effects. However, sufentanil is not as effective as Oxycodone in relieving visceral pain. Oxycodone not only activates μ receptors, also occupying κ receptors, alleviate visceral ischemic pain and inflammatory reactions. In addition to the type of medication, the administration time can also affect perioperative pain. Preemptive analgesia refers to the intervention of pain relief before nociceptive stimuli to suppress the progression of stress states and central sensitization.

• Pain
• Inflammation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Oxycodone	The patients were given 0.1mg/kg oxycodone 15 minutes before transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). WBC count, neutrophil percentage, CRP, and IL-6 were used as inflammatory markers and measured before TACE (1 day before TACE) and 24 hours after TACE. Assess pain and side effects during TACE and within 24 hours after TACE. Pain was evaluated using the 11 point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).
DRUG	Sufentanil	The patients were given 0.1μg/kg sufentanil 15 minutes before transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). WBC count, neutrophil percentage, CRP, and IL-6 were used as inflammatory markers and measured before TACE (1 day before TACE) and 24 hours after TACE. Assess pain and side effects during TACE and within 24 hours after TACE. Pain was evaluated using the 11 point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).
