Trial summary

Transcranial motor evoked potential (TcMEP) monitoring is conventionally performed during surgery without or with minimal neuromuscular blockade (NMB) because of its potential interference with signal interpretation.The feasibility of TcMEP interpretation was assessed during partial NMB in adult neurosurgical… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Intraoperative Muscle Relaxation Reversal on the Success Rate of Motor Evoked Potential Recording

Transcranial motor evoked potential (TcMEP) monitoring is conventionally performed during surgery without or with minimal neuromuscular blockade (NMB) because of its potential interference with signal interpretation.The feasibility of TcMEP interpretation was assessed during partial NMB in adult neurosurgical patients. However, partial NMB may interfere record of TcMEP monitoring. Sugammadex is the first highly selective antagonist that can reverse NMB. This study aims to evaluate the success rate of intraoperative muscle relax reversal by sugammadex on intraoperative TceMEP recording.

Being tested
Sugammadex, Saline

What participants receive

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

  • SugammadexDrug

    The muscle relaxant infusion will be discontinued and a bolus of sugammadex (2mg/kg) will be given while performing TceMEPs.

  • SalineDrug

    The muscle relaxant infusion will be discontinued and 2ml saline will be infused, TceMEPs monitoring will be performed 5 minutes later.

What is being measured

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

  1. The success rate of TceMEPs

    The success rate of Transcranial motor evoked potentials monitoring(TceMEPs)

    Measured: 5 minutes after first performing of TceMEPs

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Mean value of amplitudes of TceMEPs

    Mean value of amplitudes of Transcranial motor evoked potentials monitoring(TceMEPs)in the abductor pollicis brevis muscles of both upper extremities

    Measured: 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes after first performing of TceMEPs

  2. Mean value of latencies of TceMEPs

    Mean value of latencies of Transcranial motor evoked potentials monitoring(TceMEPs) in the abductor pollicis brevis muscles of both upper extremities

    Measured: 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes after first performing of TceMEPs.

  3. Thresholds of TceMEPs

    The thresholds that are required to obtain a dependable Transcranial motor evoked potentials monitoring(TceMEPs) response.

    Measured: 5 minutes after first performing of TceMEPs

  4. respiratory pressure

    Peak respiratory pressures

    Measured: during the surgery

  5. Adverse effects of sugammadex

    Adverse effects of sugammadex such as anaphylaxis (including flushing, oedema, tachycardia and bronchospasm), arrhythmias (heart rate lower than 60bpm), postprocedural pain, nausea and vomiting, fever (body temperature more than 37.3℃ ), and diarrhea, etc

    Measured: during the surgery

  6. Incidence of body movement

    Incidence of body movement classified as either nociception-induced movement (defined as "coughing" or reflexive limb movement temporally related to MEP stimulation) or excessive field movement (defined as grossly visible movement as determined by surgical and anaesthesia teams).

    Measured: during the surgery

  7. Recurrence of neuromuscular blockade

    Recurrence of neuromuscular blockade defined as TOFr < 0.9

    Measured: time of extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sugammadex and Saline in people with Sugammadex and Motor Evoked Potentials, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 9 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 21 Sep 2022. 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 China. 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?

The success rate of TceMEPs (time frame: 5 minutes after first performing of TceMEPs). 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 NCT04608682, which also lists 2 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.

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 21 Sep 2022.
