Measured Hypocretin Levels and Recovery After Hip Surgery

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, Hip, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

Trial summary

A specific group of neurons in the brain produces hypocretin, a peptide which has been established as an important regulator of sleep and wakefulness. Activation of these neurons (increased hypocretin) stabilizes wakefulness; impairing or blocking these neurons (decreased hypocretin) promotes sleep. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Preoperative Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Levels of Hypocretin and Recovery After Hip Surgery With Combined Spinal and General Anesthesia

A specific group of neurons in the brain produces hypocretin, a peptide which has been established as an important regulator of sleep and wakefulness. Activation of these neurons (increased hypocretin) stabilizes wakefulness; impairing or blocking these neurons (decreased hypocretin) promotes sleep. Evidence suggests that these neurons may be involved in the hypnotic properties of several anesthetics, and play a role in the induction and emergence from anesthesia. In humans there is a considerable inter-individual variability in hypocretin levels. This study aims to investigate how hypocretin levels affect the anesthetic care and recovery of patients undergoing elective hip surgery.

Osteoarthritis, Hip

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Anesthetic Recovery Times

    recovery from anesthesia will be measured by short-term outcomes like time to tracheal extubation and response to verbal commands, as well as by psycho-vigilance testing up to 72 hours postoperatively

    Measured: 0-72 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. sensitivity to sevoflurane during inhalation induction to anesthesia, determined by bispectral index of the EEG

    pharmacodynamic analysis of bispectral index of the EEG response to sevoflurane

    Measured: during anesthetic induction

  2. pain and sleepiness

    assessment of pain and sleepiness using the numerical rating scale (0-10) during the 72 hours postoperatively

    Measured: from 0-72 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, Hip, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Anesthetic Recovery Times (time frame: 0-72 hours after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jan 2017.
