About this study

Official title: Inonu University, Turgut Ozal Medical Center, Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation Malatya

The investigators will be evaluated the effects of a single loading dose of remifentanil (1µg/kg), administered as an adjunct to sevoflurane, on duration of hemodynamic profile, seizure activity, and recovery times during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with major depression

Read the detailed description

Major depressive patients will enrolled this trial. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) and peripheral oxygen saturation values will be recorded prior to anesthetic induction (T1); following anesthetic induction (T2); and 0, 1, 3, and 10 minute after the seizure have ended (T3, T4, T5, and T6, respectively). The peak heart rate during the seizure will be recorded from the Electrocardiogram.

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Also called Sevorane

    Anesthetic induction will be achieved via 8% sevoflurane

  • RemifentanilDrug

    Also called Ultiva

    After the loss of consciousness remifentanil will be administered to Group sevoflurane-remifentanil in the form of a 1 µg/kg intravenous bolus.

  • SalineDrug

    Also called 0.9% isotonic solution

    After the loss of consciousness saline will be administered to Group sevoflurane-saline intravenous bolus.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
sevoflurane-remifentanil (Group SR)Active comparatorSevoflurane will be initiated, at 8% for anesthesia induction until loss of consciousness will achieve, at which point it will be discontinued. After the loss of consciousness remifentanil will be administered to Group sevoflurane-remifentanil in the form of a 1 µg/kg intravenous bolus.
Receives: Drug: Sevoflurane; Drug: Remifentanil
sevoflurane-saline (Group SS)Placebo comparatorSevoflurane will be initiated, at 8% for anesthesia induction until loss of consciousness will achieve, at which point it will be discontinued. Placebo is 0.9% saline. After the loss of consciousness saline will be administered to Group sevoflurane-saline in the form of intravenous bolus.
Receives: Drug: Sevoflurane; Drug: Saline

What is being measured

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

  1. The effects of remifentanil on the heart rate after electroconvulsive therapy

    Prior to anesthetic induction (T1); following anesthetic induction (T2); and 0, 1, 3, and 10 minute after the seizure have ended (T3, T4, T5, and T6, respectively).

    Measured: 20 minute

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Seizure duration

    During electroconvulsive therapy

    Measured: 20 minute

  2. The effects of remifentanil on the mean arterial pressure after electroconvulsive therapy

    Prior to anesthetic induction (T1); following anesthetic induction (T2); and 0, 1, 3, and 10 minute after the seizure have ended (T3, T4, T5, and T6, respectively).

    Measured: 20 minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sevoflurane, Remifentanil and Saline in people with Haemodynamic Rebound, run by Inonu University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 22 Oct 2014. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Feray Erdil, MD (+90 422 341 06 60 ext. 3148, feray.erdil@inonu.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The effects of remifentanil on the heart rate after electroconvulsive therapy (time frame: 20 minute). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02271555, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Oct 2014.
