Trial summary

Intravenous sedation was used for dealing with transient hypertension, so-called white-coat hypertension, before dental treatment. Midazolam used as a sedative also has antianxiety effect, and the mechanism is guessed that it minimizes patients' stress, resulting in the stability of blood pressure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Low Dose of Midazolam on Blood Pressure and Anxiety Scale in White-coat Hypertensive Dental Patients

Intravenous sedation was used for dealing with transient hypertension, so-called white-coat hypertension, before dental treatment. Midazolam used as a sedative also has antianxiety effect, and the mechanism is guessed that it minimizes patients' stress, resulting in the stability of blood pressure. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the effect of low dose of midazolam on blood pressure and anxiety scale in white-coat hypertensive dental patients.

What participants receive

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

  • MidazolamDrug

    1. Investigators select subject from patients for whom the doctor has ordered intravenous sedation. Inclusion criteria is SBP>=140mmHg or DBP>=90mmHg measuring when the patient sits on dental chair and has settled down for 5 minutes. Informed consent is obtained from the patient.
    2. Patient conducts Japanese version of STAI and VAS about anxiety to dental treatment.
    3. Investigators take venous line on the upper limb and inject the drug (midazolam at dose of 0.02mg/kg) intravenously. Investigators measure blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation every 2 minutes until 10 minutes after drug administration.
    4. 10 minutes later, patient conducts Japanese version of STAI and VAS about anxiety to dental procedure again.
    5. Investigators inject an additional sedative agent and the dental treatment is started.
  • Normal Saline Solution (NSS)Drug

    1. Investigators select subject from patients for whom the doctor has ordered intravenous sedation. Inclusion criteria is SBP>=140mmHg or DBP>=90mmHg measuring when the patient sits on dental chair and has settled down for 5 minutes. Informed consent is obtained from the patient.
    2. Patient conducts Japanese version of STAI and VAS about anxiety to dental treatment.
    3. Investigators take venous line on the upper limb and inject the drug (saline solution at dose of 0.004ml/kg) intravenously. Investigators measure blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation every 2 minutes until 10 minutes after drug administration.
    4. 10 minutes later, patient conducts Japanese version of STAI and VAS about anxiety to dental procedure again.
    5. Investigators inject an additional sedative agent and the dental treatment is started.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Midazolam and Normal Saline Solution (NSS) in people with Transient Hypertension, run by Okayama University at 1 site in Japan.

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 8 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 3 Oct 2012. 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 Japan. 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?

Blood pressure (time frame: Until 10 minutes after drug administration). The study lists 3 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 3 Oct 2012.
