What is being measured

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

  1. anxiety scales

    • The day before surgery (late afternoon) : patient's self rating of anxiety and desire of information regarding upcoming surgery (Amsterdam patient anxiety and information scale, APAIS)
    • On arrival to the operating room : Recording of the level of declared anxiety (numeric scale similar to that corresponding of the "anxiety component of the APAIS scale)

    Measured: duration of the study : 12 hours (one evaluation on late afternoon the day before surgery and the second evaluation on arrival to operating room)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. markers of stress

    recording of actual (using the operating room monitor):

    • heart rate (at rest, supine)
    • systolic blood pressure (at rest, supine)

    Measured: on arrival to operating room (one single recording)

Where is the study taking place?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

anxiety scales (time frame: duration of the study : 12 hours (one evaluation on late afternoon the day before surgery and the second evaluation on arrival to operating room)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01549691, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Sep 2013.
