Trial summary

During Intramuscular botulinum toxin injections for children with cerebral palsy, immobility is essential to inject botulinum toxin to the right muscle. Because children with cerebral palsy are generally unable to control their movement, deep sedation is required during this painful procedure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Validity of Bispectral Index Monitoring During Deep Sedation for Botulinum Toxin Injection in Children With Cerebral Palsy

During Intramuscular botulinum toxin injections for children with cerebral palsy, immobility is essential to inject botulinum toxin to the right muscle. Because children with cerebral palsy are generally unable to control their movement, deep sedation is required during this painful procedure.

Short-acting drugs such as propofol and remifentanil are widely used for pediatric anesthesia and sedation but still have possibility of over-sedation and associated complications due to their rather narrow therapeutic window. Therefore, objective scoring system to assess the level of sedation to provide an effective and safe sedation in children. Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring,an objective guidance of sedation might be helpful.

The present study is to investigate the validity of the BIS monitoring during deep sedation of children with cerebral palsy for injection of botulinum toxin.

Read the detailed description

Intramuscular botulinum toxin injections for children with cerebral palsy have been extensively performed to relive spasticity and improve rehabilitation. During procedure immobility is essential to inject botulinum toxin to the right muscle for optimal effect. Because children with cerebral palsy are generally unable to control their movement, deep sedation is required during this painful procedure.

Short-acting drugs with rapid, predictable onset and offset of action, such as propofol and remifentanil, facilitate infusion rate adjustments and rapid recovery. However, there is always the possibility of over-sedation, hypotension and respiratory depression due to their rather narrow therapeutic window.

Several clinical sedation scales have been used to provide an effective and safe sedation in children. Because clinical scoring depends on patient response to verbal or physical stimulation, it is difficult to assess the level of sedatin in patients with deep sedation during delicate phase of the procedure. Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring,an objective guidance of sedation might be helpful. Although BIS scores in children with conscious and deep sedation were reported to correlate with clinical sedation scales, the validity during painful procedure in children with cerebral palsy was not investigated yet.

The present study is to investigate the validity of the BIS monitoring and its correlation to University of Michigan sedation scale during deep sedation of children with cerebral palsy for injection of botulinum toxin.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Correlation Between the Paired BIS Value Categories and Clinical Sedation Scores

    Two independent investigators assessed the level of sedation using the Universtiy of Michigan sedation scale (UMSS) and modified observer's assessment of alertness and sedation (MOAAS) scales every 1 min during the induction of sedation and every 3 min during the maintenance of sedation. The BIS values at each UMSS and MOAAS score were collected. The correlation between the BIS score and UMSS score, and BIS score and MOAAS score was analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test. The correlation coefficient is expressed as an r-value, and this value is expressed as a single value, not as a range with the lowest and highest values. The higher the value, the better the outcome.

    Measured: From induction of sedation to completion of procedure(botulinum toxin injection)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebral Palsy, run by Yeungnam University College of Medicine 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2024. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jan 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Correlation Between the Paired BIS Value Categories and Clinical Sedation Scores (time frame: From induction of sedation to completion of procedure(botulinum toxin injection)). 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 NCT02096549, which also lists 3 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?
