About this study

Official title: Comparison Between the Effect of Dexmedetomidine, Melatonin and Pregabalin on Hypotensive Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Various drugs have been used for the purpose: nitroglycerine, sodium nitroprusside, propofol, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, higher concentrations of inhalational anesthetics etc. Since all these drugs have certain limitations there was a search for more safe and effective drug

Read the detailed description

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is done via endoscope and the area is highly vascular thus it becomes important to minimize bleeding, hence we require hypotensive anesthesia.

Dexmedetomidine (a highly selective α2-receptor agonist that has sedative, analgesic, anxiolytic, and opioid sparing effects without significant respiratory depression) it also reduces the need for inhaled anesthetics. dexmedetomidine also minimizes postoperative opioid consumption as well as nausea, vomiting, and anxiety.

Melatonin is a neurohormone mainly secreted from the pineal gland by the suprachiasmatic nucleus. It possesses a circadian secretion pattern and regulates the biological clock; it also offers antiemetic, analgesic, and anxiolytic effects. Due to its effect on both acute and chronic pain, melatonin (available in 5mg tablet form) fulfills a beneficial role in reducing postoperative opioid consumption while minimizing nausea and vomiting.

Pregabalin, whose structure is similar to the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), possesses analgesic and anxiolytic activities and is effective in alleviating the neuropathic component of acute nociceptive pain of surgery. It has also been used as premedication to attenuate the hemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy and intubation and to decrease intraoperative anesthetic requirement

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain Relieve

    Assessment of the pain post-operatively in patients with pain score by VAS as : Total scores vary from 0 to 10 in this method, with a higher score indicating more severe pain,

    Measured: 2 hours post operative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. controlled pulse rate

    Hemodynamics stability

    Measured: From base line to 1 hour after the end of the operation

  2. controlled blood pressure

    Hemodynamics stability

    Measured: From base line to 1 hour after the end of the operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Dexmedetomidine, Melatonin and Pregabalin in people with Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, run by Egymedicalpedia 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 25 Apr 2023. 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 phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 Tarek Mounir, Professor (+201012140880, tarekmunir99@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain Relieve (time frame: 2 hours post operative). 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 25 Apr 2023.
