Abstract
Background: This randomized clinical trial protocol aimed to investigate the comparative efficacy of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol versus traditional perioperative care programs in patients with intradural extramedullary spinal tumors.
Methods: The study included 180 patients aged 18-80 years, who were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A receiving traditional perioperative care and Group B receiving accelerated rehabilitation perioperative care. The nurse responsible for patient care was informed of the group assignment, but the patients themselves remained blinded to the intervention. The primary outcome measure was the Karnofsky Performance Scale score, which assessed functional status. The secondary outcomes included the Japanese Orthopedic Association Scale, Numeric Pain Rating Scale, length of postoperative hospital stay, duration of urethral catheterization, patient satisfaction questionnaire, and complication rates. Follow-up assessments were conducted telephonically 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the surgery.
Discussion: This study protocol provided a structured approach to assess the potential benefits of ERAS during the perioperative period for patients with intradural extramedullary tumors, aiming to improve patient outcomes and overall care efficiency.
Trial registration: This study has been registered with the China Clinical Trials Registry (Project No: ChiCTR2200063347). Registered on September 5 2022.
期刊介绍:
Trials is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that will encompass all aspects of the performance and findings of randomized controlled trials. Trials will experiment with, and then refine, innovative approaches to improving communication about trials. We are keen to move beyond publishing traditional trial results articles (although these will be included). We believe this represents an exciting opportunity to advance the science and reporting of trials. Prior to 2006, Trials was published as Current Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine (CCTCVM). All published CCTCVM articles are available via the Trials website and citations to CCTCVM article URLs will continue to be supported.
