Trial summary

Fentanyl is expected to suppress tracheal tube-induced cough during emergence from general anaesthesia through binding to its receptors in the brainstem. However, it has not been proven if fentanyl has a complication-free, dose-dependent effect on cough suppression during emergence from sevoflurane anaesthesia. Read more about this study

About this study

Fentanyl is expected to suppress tracheal tube-induced cough during emergence from general anaesthesia through binding to its receptors in the brainstem. However, it has not been proven if fentanyl has a complication-free, dose-dependent effect on cough suppression during emergence from sevoflurane anaesthesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between fentanyl doses and cough suppression during emergence from sevoflurane anaesthesia.

Being tested
fentanyl citrate, saline

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • fentanyl citrateDrug

    According to the enrolled group, certain dose of fentanyl is intravenously administered by bolus just after sevoflurane discontinuation.

  • salineDrug

    According to the enrolled group, certain dose of saline is intravenously administered by bolus just after sevoflurane discontinuation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing fentanyl citrate and saline in people with Thyroid Neoplasm, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2011. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01308320, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 4 Mar 2011.
