About this study

Official title: Comparison of Two Different Intranasal Doses of Dexmedetomidine in Children for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Sedation

Sixty patients aged between 1-10 years, American Society of Anesthesia (ASA) physical status I-II scheduled for MRI were allocated in this randomized double-blinded study. Group 1 received 3 mcg/kg, Group 2 received 4 mcg/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine before imaging. From the beginning on every 10 minutes heart rate (HR), saturation (SpO2) and Ramsey Sedation Score (RSS) were recorded. Induction time was time interval to receive RSS 5. MRI began and separation-score was noted. If intranasal sedation failed, an intravenous canula was placed and propofol was applied. Imaging quality was evaluated. Recovery time was time interval to receive Aldrete-score 9. Parents' satisfaction was questioned before patient was discharged.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY Anesthetic agents used for MRI in paediatrics should have few adverse effects, allow fast induction and recovery. The administration route is also important and should be minimally invasive. In this study the investigators aimed to compare two different doses of intranasal dexmedetomidine applied to children for MRI sedation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine in people with Anesthesia, run by Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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 25 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Ramsey Sedation Score (time frame: every 10 minutes for a two hours period). 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 NCT02299232, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Oct 2017.
