About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Preoperative Melatonin Versus Pregabalin on Intraoperative Anxiolysis and Sedation During Hip Arthroplasty Under Regional Anesthesia

preoperative melatonin, pregabalin or both will be given to all patients preoperative

Read the detailed description

On arrival at the operating room, continuous electrocardiogram, non-invasive blood pressure and pulse oximetry monitors will be applied. Sedation score (ramsay sedation score)(10) will be recorded on arrival to OR An 18-gauge cannula will be inserted in a peripheral vein and a warmed (37°C) lactated Ringer solution infusion was started. Ondansetron 4 mg will be administered intravenously as a prophylaxis against nausea and vomiting. Thereafter the patient will be supported in the sitting position. Intrathecal anaesthetic (room temperature hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% (20 mg) + fentanyl 25 μg (0.5 mL) will be given under complete aseptic technique . The patient was returned to the supine position for 15 min then to lateral position with operative side up.

HR and blood pressure will be measured every 2.5 minutes intraoperatively, however, the values will be recorded in the anesthesia chart only every five minutes for 2 hours then every 15 minutes for 3 hours. Durations will be calculated considering the time of spinal injection as time zero.

Hypotension (SAP<100 mmHg or <80% of the baseline measured before spinal anaesthesia) will be treated by ephedrine 6 mg, to be repeated if inadequate response within 2 minutes. If bradycardia (HR≤60 bpm) developed, atropine (0.6 mg) will be given to restore adequate HR (≥60 bpm).

What is being measured

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

  1. VAS

    change of VAS of the patient on a scale from the night before surgery

    Measured: on arrival to operating room then every 6 hours untill 48 hours

  2. Ramsey Sedation scale

    change of sedation of the patient on a scale from the night before surgery

    Measured: on arrival to operating room then every 6 hours untill 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Melatonin, Pregabalin and Ondansetron 4 MG in people with Anxiety, run by Menoufia 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 4 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 21 Dec 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 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. 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?

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?

VAS (time frame: on arrival to operating room then every 6 hours untill 48 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Dec 2022.
