Trial summary

The investigators determine the half maximum effective concentration (EC50) of the Cet value of propofol in target-controlled infusion (TCI) when co-administered with dexmedetomidine for the maintenance of general anesthesia during microelectrode recording in the deep brain surgery in patients with Parkinson's disease.

About this study

Official title: Determination of EC50 of Anesthetics During Microelectric Recording in Patients Receiving Deep Brain Stimulation Under Anesthesia

The investigators determine the half maximum effective concentration (EC50) of the Cet value of propofol in target-controlled infusion (TCI) when co-administered with dexmedetomidine for the maintenance of general anesthesia during microelectrode recording in the deep brain surgery in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Read the detailed description

General anesthesia is sometimes required for DBS (deep brain stimulation) surgery in those with excessive fear, anxiety, reduced cooperation, or severe movements due to ' off drug' state. Dexmedetomidine and propofol are both used individually in the sedation for DBS surgery, and were reported to affect the MER (microelectrode recording) to some extent, especially in the higher zone of the dose range. In this study, the investigators plan to use the combination of dexmedetomidine and propofol for the maintenance of general anesthesia in patients with Parkinson's disease. In this study, dexmedetomidine is given with a loading dose of 0.5 mcg/Kg, and continuous infusion with the dose of 0.4 mcg/Kg/hr. Propofol is given within 0.8~1.8 mcg/Kg during the MER recording (based on institutional guideline). MER recording will be observed and correlated wtih the dose of propofol. The Dixon "up-and-down" sequential allocation method was used to determine the EC50 of the value of Cet of propofol. The study aims to determine the dose that is adequate for maintaining general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and least interference with the MER recording.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Deep Brain Stimulation, run by Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 Jun 2019. 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 Taiwan. 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?

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?

Cet of propofol (time frame: Intraoperative). 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 25 Jun 2019.
