Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Pain is a consistent and predominant complaint of many individuals after surgical interventions.Failure to relieve pain is morally and ethically unacceptable.Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has improved surgical outcome in terms of reduced pain,morbidity and duration of convalescence compared to open cholecystectomy.However laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not entirely a pain free procedure.Hence, in this prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trail we are evaluating and comparing the efficacy of intraperitoneally instilled ketamine,levo-bupivacaine and its combination in alleviating post operative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the study drugs in reducing total analgesic consumption for 24 hours post operatively. The secondary objective is to assess reduction in post op pain scores, time to first requirement of rescue analgesia, time to unassisted ambulation and tolerability of the used study drugs represented by side effects during the first 24 hours post operatively.Static pain (at rest) and Dynamic pain (deep breathing) will be assessed at 6, 12 and 24 hours post operatively using a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).
