About this study

Official title: Role of Endogenous Melatonin Level in Preoperative and Postoperative Anxiety in Bariatric Surgery Patients

Bariatric surgical procedures are associated with low short-term mortality and may be associated with long-term reductions in all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer-related mortality. This surgeries are major surgeries include risk of mortality still.

Different level anxiety that can define as fear or worry can be seen in 60%-80% of patients scheduled surgery. Anxiety levels; may vary on age, gender, type of operation, previous experience of anesthesia and surgery and way of hospitalization. Preoperative anxiety affects negatively the surgery, the anesthesia and postoperative recovery.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted from the pineal gland. The circadian rhythm of melatonin changes according to age and it's production decreases with older ages. Melatonin is an antioxidant, antinociceptive, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, anxiolytic, sedative, analgesic and has a preventive effect of delirium in intensive care. Irregularity of melatonin secretion causes a sleep irregularities, psychosis in intensive care unit and some behavioral disorder. It has been demonstrated that oral exogen administration of melatonin was effective on preoperative anxiety.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between endogenous melatonin levels and anxiety levels in patients with bariatric surgery.

Read the detailed description

Bariatric surgical procedures, including gastric bypass, vertical sleeve gastrectomy, and biliopancreatic diversion, are the most effective and durable treatments for obesity. Bariatric surgery provides long-term benefit for patients with diabetes, fatty liver disease, and other metabolic disorders, through both weight loss-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

Bariatric surgery is associated with low short-term mortality and may be associated with long-term reductions in all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer-related mortality. This surgeries are major surgeries include risk of mortality still.

Different level anxiety that can define as fear or worry can be seen in 60%-80% of patients scheduled surgery. Anxiety levels; may vary on age, gender, type of operation, previous experience of anesthesia and surgery and way of hospitalization. Preoperative anxiety affects negatively the surgery, the anesthesia and postoperative recovery. It may cause the pathophysiological response as hypertension and arrhythmia even refusal the surgery is planned. Also the anesthetic requirements and the risk "awareness" during the operation may increase. Patients with high level anxiety have more postoperative pain symptoms too. Therefore determination of the causes and prevention of anxiety is important.

Melatonin is a hormone secreted from the pineal gland, also known as the pineal gland. It's production is stimulated by darkness, independent of sleep, and is inhibited by exposure to light and proved endocrine rhythms. It shows a daily biorhythm. The circadian rhythm of melatonin changes according to age and it's production decreases with older ages. Melatonin level can be measured in the blood and in urine collected for 24 hours. Melatonin is an antioxidant, antinociceptive, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, anxiolytic, sedative, analgesic and has a preventive effect of delirium in intensive care. Irregularity of melatonin secretion causes a sleep irregularities, psychosis in intensive care unit and some behavioral disorder. It has been demonstrated that oral exogen administration of melatonin was effective on preoperative anxiety.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • State-Trait Anxiety Inventory TestDiagnostic test

    Also called STAI FORM TX-1

    All patients will take a State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Test. After the test patients will enroll low or high anxiety level.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in melatonin levels

    Melatonin is a hormone secreted from the pineal gland. It shows a daily biorhythm. The circadian rhythm of melatonin changes according to age and it's production decreases with older ages. Melatonin level can be measured in the blood and in urine collected for 24 hours.

    Measured: preoperative and 24. hour after postoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. S-Anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Test

    Anxiety levels; may vary on age, gender, type of operation, previous experience of anesthesia and surgery and way of hospitalization.

    Measured: preoperative and 24. hour after postoperative

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03109054, 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.
