About this study

Official title: The Effect of Preoperative Intravenous Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Quality of Recovery: Randomized Study

Dexmedetomidine is a selective a2-agonist and a sedative with anti-inflammatory,analgesic, and antiemetic effects, and its use for procedural sedation during endoscopy or ablation for atrial fibrillation has been increasing. It is also used for sedation in the intensive care unit. Recently, it was reported that dexmedetomidine is often used as an adjuvant for general anesthesia. Sympatholysis of dexmedetomidine can attenuate the increased sympathetic tone after surgery and result in antistress effects. In addition, opioid-sparing and analgesic effects are promoted by the perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine. Although it has been reported that the perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine improves quality of recovery after spinal and ENT surgeries, the outcomes for patients who undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy remain poorly investigated.

The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of preoperative dexmedetomidine administration on quality of recovery by using the QoR-40 questionnaire in patients who undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of recovery questionnaire

    The Quality of Recovery questionnaire (QoR-40) is a tool used to assess the quality of recovery after surgery through questions pertaining to 40 items related to 5 domains. It has been validated as a global and reliable measurement tool.

    Measured: postoperative first day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine in people with The Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Quality of Recovery, run by Kyungmi Kim 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 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 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Quality of recovery questionnaire (time frame: postoperative first day). 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 NCT03468062, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
