About this study

Official title: The Influence of Neuromuscular Reversal With Neostigmine or Sugammadex on Neurological Physical Exam Time in Lumbar Neurosurgical Cases.

Neurological physical exam is a very important outcome that should be evaluated as soon as possible after every lumbar procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neurological physical examination time after lumbar procedures.

Read the detailed description

Neurological physical exam is a very important outcome that should be evaluated as soon as possible after every lumbar procedures. By that early postoperative neurological complications can be revealed and early interventions planned. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neurological physical examination time after lumbar procedures. Two routinely used different reversal agents (neostigmine or sugammadex) were compared according reversal times and muscle strength on PACU admission.

Being tested
Neurological physical exam

What participants receive

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

  • Neurological physical examDiagnostic test

    Neurological physical exam is performed in all patients at the OR table, immediately after the operation.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group SGroup S: Group sugammadex Patients in this group received sugammadex at the end of the surgery, as neuromuscular reversal agent. Neurological physical exam time was recorded.

Group NGroup N: Group Neostigmine Patients in this group received neostigmine at the end of the surgeryas neuromuscular reversal agent. Neurological physical exam time was recorded.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Neurological physical exam

What is being measured

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

  1. Neurological physical examination time

    Neurological physical examination time

    Measured: postoperative first 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Muscle strength at PACU transfer

    Muscle strength at PACU transfer (evaluated with a 5 point scale) 0/5: no contraction in muscles 1/5: muscle flicker but no movement 2/5: movement possible bıt not against gravity (test the joint in its horizontal plane) 3/5: moment possible against gravity but not against resistance by the examiner 4/5: movement possible against resistance by the examiner 5/5: normal strength

    Measured: postoperative first 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neurological Complication, run by Ankara University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 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 24 Jan 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Neurological physical examination time (time frame: postoperative first 30 minutes). 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 24 Jan 2018.
