Trial summary

Surgical stress induces stress hormone release and sympathetic hyperactivation. Dexmedetomidine has sympatholytic effect and attenuates stress responses. This study investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on stress responses and autonomic nervous system balance in patients undergoing major spine surgery. Read more about this study

What is being measured

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

  1. Stress hormone level

    The levels of stress hormone including epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and glucose will be measured during spinal surgery.

    Measured: immediately after anesthetic induction

  2. Stress hormone level

    The levels of stress hormone including epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and glucose will be measured during spinal surgery.

    Measured: 1 hour after start of surgery

  3. Stress hormone level

    The levels of stress hormone including epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and glucose will be measured during spinal surgery.

    Measured: 2-hour after start of surgery

  4. Stress hormone level

    The levels of stress hormone including epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and glucose will be measured during spinal surgery.

    Measured: 1 second after the end of surgery

  5. Stress hormone level

    The levels of stress hormone including epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and glucose will be measured during spinal surgery.

    Measured: 1 hour after the end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing dexmedetomidine group in people with Spinal Stenosis, 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 2 inclusion and 7 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 28 Feb 2018. 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?

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?

Stress hormone level (time frame: immediately after anesthetic induction). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Feb 2018.
