Trial summary

The release of tourniquet produces reactive oxygen species which can cause injury. Propofol is chemically similar to phenol-based free radical scavengers. Plasma total antioxidant capacity is a well-established marker of the overall protective effect of antioxidants in body fluids.The aim of the study is to… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Propofol Infusion on Total Antioxidant Status During Tourniquet-Induced Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Total Knee Arthroplasty

The release of tourniquet produces reactive oxygen species which can cause injury. Propofol is chemically similar to phenol-based free radical scavengers.

Plasma total antioxidant capacity is a well-established marker of the overall protective effect of antioxidants in body fluids.The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of propofol on ischemia-reperfusion injury in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Being tested
Propofol, Placebo

What participants receive

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

  • PropofolDrug

    Propofol :Propofol is an anesthetic agent, has structure similar to that of known such as alfa tocopherol.

  • PlaceboDrug

Study groups in NCT01638624
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PropofolActive comparatorPropofol infusion group: Under spinal anesthesia, a continuous intravenous infusion (2mg/kg/h) of propofol will be use during the operation
Receives: Drug: Propofol
Control groupPlacebo comparatorPlacebo group: Under spinal anesthesia, a continuous intravenous infusion of volume-equivalent placebo will use during the operation
Receives: Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. The perioperative alternation of the venous blood total antioxidant capacity levels of the arms

    T1 : Before the spinal anesthesia performed T2 : At 30th min of tourniquet inflation T3 : At 2nd hours of tourniquet deflation

    Measured: T1,T2,T3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Propofol in people with Total Knee Arthroplasty and Tourniquet-Induced Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury, run by Diskapi Teaching and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 13 Jun 2016. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

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?

The perioperative alternation of the venous blood total antioxidant capacity levels of the arms (time frame: T1,T2,T3). 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 13 Jun 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
