Well-designed clinical trials related to Tramadol

Effects of tramadol on the minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane in dogs. [2009.07]
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of tramadol on sevoflurane minimum alveolar concentration (MAC(SEVO)) in dogs. It was hypothesized that tramadol would dose-dependently decrease MAC(SEVO).CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Tramadol significantly reduced MAC(SEVO) but this was not dose dependent at the doses studied.

Pharmacokinetics of tramadol and its major metabolites following rectal and intravenous administration in dogs. [2009.06]
AIM: To compare the rectal and I/V administration of tramadol in dogs, to assess both its pharmacokinetic properties and absolute bioavailability... CONCLUSIONS: After rectal administration of tramadol suppositories, absorption of the active ingredient was rapid, but its metabolism quickly transformed the parent drug to high levels of M2 and M5. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In the dog, rectal pharmaceutical formulation of tramadol would have a different pharmacokinetic behaviour than in humans.

Significance of the biopharmaceutical properties of tramadol sustained-release formulations for chrono-pharmacologically optimized treatment of pain from various sources. [2009.06]
Tramadol is currently one of the most frequently used opioid analgesics in the world. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the rate and extent of tramadol bioavailability following evening versus morning intake of an extended-release pellet system designed for once daily administration. Moreover, the suitability of the preparation for chrono-adjusted pharmacotherapy was to be investigated... CONCLUSIONS: Bioavailability of the extended-release tramadol capsules for once daily administration is not affected by the time-point of administration. Total and maximum exposure of the product was bioequivalent after intake in the morning and at night. Thus, the time-point of administration may be adjusted to the patient's needs without any significant change in the in-vivo performance.

Comparison of analgesic effect of tramadol alone and a combination of tramadol and paracetamol in day-care laparoscopic surgery. [2009.06]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To compare the analgesic efficacy of tramadol alone (1.5 mg kg(-1)) with a tramadol (1 mg kg(-1)) and paracetamol combination in day-care laparoscopic patients... CONCLUSION: We conclude that reducing the dose of tramadol to 1 mg kg(-1) and combining it with paracetamol 1 g orally decreased the incidence of side effects of tramadol without reducing analgesic efficacy.

Analgesic efficacy of perioperative use of vedaprofen, tramadol or their combination in cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy. [2009.06]
The analgesic efficacy of tramadol and/or vedaprofen was evaluated in cats submitted for elective ovariohysterectomy, using a randomised double blind placebo controlled design. Forty adult female cats (3.0+/-0.32kg; 1.8+/-0.7 years) were distributed into four groups... This work also provides evidence for the benefits of analgesia for up to 3 days following ovariohysterectomy.

N-of-1 double-blind, randomized controlled trial of tramadol to treat chronic cough. [2009.05]
BACKGROUND: Chronic cough caused by interstitial pneumopathy can present a therapeutic dilemma, and the use of tramadol in the treatment of this symptom might be an alternative to improve the quality of life in patients. The present study describes a patient with rheumatoid arthritis and interstitial lung disease lasting 11 years who developed dry cough secondary to interstitial pneumopathy but was nonresponsive to several treatments (codeine 20 mg q6h; clobutinol 240 mg/d; and dextromethorphan 10 mg q4h). OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate, for an individual patient, the effectiveness of tramadol 50 mg compared with placebo, and whether tramadol provided any antitussive benefit... CONCLUSIONS: Tramadol appeared to be effective in controlling cough in this patient. Because no similar report was found in the literature, further studies assessing the efficacy of tramadol as an antitussive agent are warranted.

Comparison of intravenous and peritonsillar infiltration of tramadol for postoperative pain relief in children following adenotonsillectomy. [2009.04]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy and side-effects of intravenous tramadol with peritonsillar infiltration of tramadol in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy... CONCLUSION: In adenotonsillectomy cases, peritonsillar infiltration of tramadol maintains efficient pain relief with lower incidence of nausea and vomiting.

Wound infiltration with magnesium sulphate and ropivacaine mixture reduces postoperative tramadol requirements after radical prostatectomy. [2009.04]
PURPOSE: This prospective, randomized, double-dummy study was undertaken to compare the effects of magnesium sulphate (MgSO(4)) administered by the intravenous vs. the infiltration route on postoperative pain and analgesic requirements... CONCLUSION: Co-administration of MgSO(4) with ropivacaine for postoperative infiltration analgesia after radical retropubic prostatectomy produces a significant reduction in tramadol requirements.

Ultra low-dose naloxone and tramadol/acetaminophen in elderly patients undergoing joint replacement surgery: a pilot study. [2009.03]
OBJECTIVE: A pilot study was conducted to assess whether both the rationale and feasibility exist for future randomized clinical trials to evaluate the combined use of naloxone infusion and tramadol/acetaminophen as opioid-sparing drugs in elderly patients undergoing lower extremity joint replacement surgery... CONCLUSION: Consequently, a randomized, double-blinded clinical trial comparing standard therapy versus standard therapy plus these two drugs seems warranted. In such a trial, it would require approximately 20 subjects per treatment arm to detect a 80% decrease in morphine use.

Intraperitoneal analgesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy: bupivacaine versus bupivacaine with tramadol. [2009.03]
The type of pain after laparoscopic surgery differs considerably from that seen after laparotomy... In our study we found no differences between bupivacaine with tramadol and bupivacaine in postoperative VAS score and analgesic requirements.
