About this study

Official title: Sedative Effects of Oral Midazolam in Comparison Promethazine With Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen on Behavior Management of Uncooperative Children Receiving Dental Treatment

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of sedation using orally administered midazolam and promethazine with nitrous oxide/oxygen in uncooperative children receiving dental treatments.

Read the detailed description

The effectiveness of oral midazolam in pediatric dentistry is controversial. Usefulness of midazolam alone is limited to short-duration procedures, and we are needed to identify safe oral conscious regiments which permit longer duration procedures in dental treatments especially in Pediatric dentistry.

Promethazine is a long-acting (4-12 hr) anti-histaminic, H1 antagonist drug which acts as a central nervous system depressant and showing itself to be a weak anxiolytic drug.

The hypothesis to be tested is whether promethazine would improve the patients behavior during dental procedures without affecting vital signs, thus enabling longer periods of moderate or conscious sedation.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
sedationExperimental20 healthy uncooperative children aged 36-96 months were examined in a cross-over study design , each patient served as his/her own control. Each patient was assigned randomly to received 1 of 2 drug regimens for initial sedation session and the other regimen administered at second session which was one week later.
Receives: Drug: Promethazine

What is being measured

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

  1. Behavior change

    Behavior evaluation was based on a scale proposed by Houpt et al. which establishes the following scores : sleep, movement, crying , overall behavior.

    Measured: during dental treatment which is 30 minutes after drug ingestion

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Promethazine in people with Conscious Sedation, run by Shahid Beheshti University at 1 site in Iran.

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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Behavior change (time frame: during dental treatment which is 30 minutes after drug ingestion). 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 7 May 2010.
