About this study

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of oral glucose administration during MRI for imaging of newborns and compare with midazolam sedation.

Read the detailed description

Motion artefacts affect the quality of MRI and in order to overcome this problem procedures are performed under sedation or general anaesthesia. The safety profile of these methods for newborns is unclear. Alternative non-pharmacological interventions are changeable and might be time consuming. Oral glucose/sucrose administration has been the most frequently studied non-pharmacologic intervention in term and preterm neonates during painful procedures. In this study investigators aimed to compare oral 30% glucose and intravenous midazolam their efficiency on sedation during MRI.

What participants receive

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

  • oral 30% glucoseOther

    30% glucose solution was administered orally through a teat. 1 mL 30% glucose solution was added following placement of the teat into the mouth of the newborn. After suckling of 0.5-1 mL glucose solution, the motionless and sleepiness of newborn was evaluated. If the target conditions was not achieved, 0.5-1 mL increments of glucose was added until the newborn kept motionless or asleep.

  • IV midazolamDrug

    IV 0.1 mg/kg midazolam was administered.MRI was routinely performed and the newborns who did not keep motionless or asleep and had motion artefacts were sedated with intravenous 0.5 mg/kg propofol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Success rate of the procedures to keep the neonates quietened, motionless and slept during the procedure and to consider all images qualitatively appropriate for interpretation

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing oral 30% glucose and IV midazolam in people with Epilepsy and Trauma, run by Baskent University.

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 1 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Success rate of the procedures to keep the neonates quietened, motionless and slept during the procedure and to consider all images qualitatively appropriate for interpretation (time frame: Approximately 1 year). 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 1 Jan 2016.
