About this study

Official title: The Effect of Oral Dexmedetomidine Premedication On Preoperative Cooperation and Emergence Delirium In Children Undergoing Dental Treatment

The aim of this retrospective study was to detect the effectiveness of 1µg/kg oral dexmedetomidine premedication on preoperative cooperation and emergence delirium of the the young children underwent complete dental treatment.

Read the detailed description

One Hundred children between the ages 2-6 years of ASA I status underwent full mouth dental rehabilitation were enrolled in the study. Group Dex (n=50) received 1µg/kg dexmedetomidine in apple juice and Group control (n=50) received apple juice only. Patients' Ramsey Sedation Scale (RSS), The Parental Seperation Anxiety Scale (PSAS), Mask Acceptance Scale (MAS) and Post anesthesia emergence delirium scale (PAEDS) and hemodynamic parameters were noted from their patient file. Premedication period was 45 minutes and measurements of RSS and hemodynamic parameters were recorded in baseline and every 15 minutes until the patients were transferred to the operating room. The data were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, two sample t- tests, chi-square tests and ANOVA.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

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. 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?

Ramsey Sedation Score (time frame: 45 minutes after premedication). 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 NCT03174678, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 2 Jun 2017.
