About this study

Official title: The Effects Of Pre-emptive Single Oral Dose Pregabalin on Attenuating Maternal Anxiety And Stress Response To Intubation During Caesarean Section

There is exaggerated neuroendocrine stress response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation during the Induction to anesthesia-delivery (I-D) period under light anesthesia. Mechanical stimulation of laryngeal proprioceptors elicits increased secretion of cortisol and catecholamine with subsequent elevation of blood pressure from 40 to 50 % and heart rate up to 20 % during direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation

Read the detailed description

The sample size was calculated using OPEN EPI program assuming that the mean visual analogue scale anxiety score was 49.3±14.1 among oral pregabalin group and was 58.6± 14.4 among Placebo group (8) so at power of study 80% confidence interval 95%, the sample size was calculated to be 74 cases (37in each group

What is being measured

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

  1. preoperative maternal anxiety changes

    Anxiety by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire before drug administration and 60 minutes after giving drug (pre-induction).

    Measured: change from baseline at 60 minutes after giving drug preoperative.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of participant with changes in level of consciousness

    changes in level of consciousness of participant by Alert, verbal response, pain response and unresponsive (AVPU) scale 60 minutes after giving drug (pre-induction).

    Alert: The patient is aware of the examiner and can respond to the environment around them on their own. The patient can also follow commands, open their eyes spontaneously, and track objects.

    Verbally Responsive: The patient's eyes do not open spontaneously. The patient's eyes open only in response to a verbal stimulus directed toward them. The patient is able to react to that verbal stimulus directly and in a meaningful way.

    Painfully Responsive: The patient's eyes do not open spontaneously. The patient will only respond to the application of painful stimuli by an examiner. The patient may move, moan, or cry out directly in response to the painful stimuli.

    Unresponsive: The patient does not respond spontaneously. The patient does not respond to verbal or painful stimuli.

    Measured: at 60 minutes preoperative

  2. Heart rate

    Heart rate will be recorded preoperative baseline, 0 (at intubation) 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 minutes after intubation.

    Measured: at baseline, 0 (at intubation) 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 minutes after intubation.

  3. mean arterial blood pressure

    mean arterial blood pressure

    Measured: at baseline, 0 (at intubation) 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 minutes after intubation.

  4. Serum glucose

    Serum glucose level will be recorded preoperative and at 10 minutes after intubation.

    Measured: preoperative and at 10 minutes after intubation.

  5. cortisol level

    cortisol level will be recorded preoperative and at 10 minutes after intubation.

    Measured: preoperative and at 10 minutes after intubation.

  6. Baby Apgar score

    Apgar score at 1 and 5 min after delivery Apgar Scoring

    Apgar Sign 2 1 0 Appearance (skin color) Normal color all over (hands and feet are pink) Normal color (but hands and feet are bluish) Bluish-gray or pale all over Pulse (heart rate) Normal (above 100 beats per minute) Below 100 beats per minute Absent (no pulse) Grimace ("reflex irritability") Pulls away, sneezes, coughs, or cries with stimulation Facial movement only (grimace) with stimulation Absent (no response to stimulation) Activity (muscle tone) Active, spontaneous movement Arms and legs flexed with little movement No movement, "floppy" tone Respiration (breathing rate and effort) Normal rate and effort, good cry Slow or irregular breathing, weak cry Absent (no breathing)

    A baby who scores a 7 or above on the test is considered in good health.

    Measured: at 1 and 5 minutes after delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Pregabalin 150mg and multivitamin in people with Anxiety State and Sedation, run by Zagazig University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 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 4 Feb 2021. 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 Egypt. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Contact Sara Abdel Naby, M.D (01096017090 ext. 002, sara.abdelnaby.ali@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

preoperative maternal anxiety changes (time frame: change from baseline at 60 minutes after giving drug preoperative.). 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 4 Feb 2021.
