About this study

Official title: Effects of Valproic Acid and Magnesium Sulphate on Rocuronium Requirement and Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Craniotomy for Cerebrovascular Surgery

The investigators hypothesized that valproic acid will increase rocuronium requirement and MgSO4 infusion would reduce requirement of muscle relaxant in craniotomy patients preloaded with sodium valproate.

Read the detailed description

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is known to reduce requirement of muscle relaxant.

Being tested
Magnesium Sulfate, 0.9% saline
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Rocuronium

    Roc 0.15mg/kg is injected when train of four (TOF) becomes 2 which is measured with TOF-watch Sx. The total amount of Roc that injected is recorded.

    The intervals of each Roc 0.15mg/kg injection will also be recorded.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of the surgery, an expected average of 5.5 hours.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. hemodynamics

    mean arterial pressure and heart rate is measured for the duration of the surgery, an expected average of 5.5 hours; postoperative 24 hour; postoperative 48 hour.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of the surgery, an expected average of 5.5 hours; postoperative 24 hour; postoperative 48 hour

  2. total amount of anesthetics

    total amount of propofol and remifentanil infused is measured.

    Measured: participants will be followed at the end of the surgery, an expected average of 5.5 hours after induction of anesthesia..

  3. Magnesium concentration

    serum Magnesium concentration is measured just prior to anesthetic drug administration, 3 hour after the induction of anesthesia, and at the end of the surgery.

    Measured: from the induction of anesthesia until end of the surgery

  4. side effects

    complicaton associated with MgSO4 including muscle weakness, hot flush, and nausea/ vomiting.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of the surgery, an expected average of 5.5 hours; postoperative 24 hour; postoperative 48 hour.

  5. pain, nausea & vomiting, analgesics use, antiemetics use, nicardipine use

    Pain will be assessed using numeric rating scale at 6 h, 24 h, and 48 h postoperately.

    Cumulative dose of analgesics and nicardipine, incidence of nicardipine and antiemtics use during 48h postoperatively will be recorded.

    Measured: patients will be followed from the end of the operation until postoperativ 48 h

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnesium Sulfate and 0.9% saline in people with Cerebral Aneurysm, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 29 Dec 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.

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?

Contact Mihyun Kim, Doctor (82-31-787-7499, snmd56@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rocuronium (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of the surgery, an expected average of 5.5 hours.). 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 29 Dec 2011.
