About this study

Official title: Oral Dexmedetomidine vs Midazoam For Premedication And Emergence Delirium in Children Undergoing Dental Treatment

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of 2 µg/kg of oral dexmedetomidine (DEX) and 0.5 mg/kg dormicum as premedication among children undergoing dental procedures.

Read the detailed description

The study involved 52 children between 3-7 years of age, ASA I , who underwent full-mouth dental rehabilitation. The DEX group (n=26) received 2 µg/kg DEX in apple juice, and the control group (n=26) received 0.5 mg/kg midazolam in apple juice.

The patients' scores on the Ramsey sedation scale (RSS), parental separation anxiety scale, mask acceptance scale, post-anesthesia emergence delirium scale (PAEDS), and hemodynamic parameters were recorded. The data were analyzed using chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, student t test, and analysis of variance in SPSS.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ramsey Sedation Scale

    Sedation level is evaluated due to patient behavior. 1= Patient is anxious and agitated or restless or both, 2=Patient is cooperative, oriented, and tranquil, 3=Patient responds to command only, 4=Patient exhibits brisk response to light glabellar tap, 5=Patient exhibits sluggish response to light glabellar tap, 6=Patient exhibits no response.A Ramsay sedation score '1' was considered as unsatisfactory and "≥ 2" was considered as satisfactory sedation.

    Measured: 45 minutes after premedication

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Parental Separation Anxiety Scale

    Behavior of the child on seperation from the parents was assessed according to a four-point scale, i.e., the parental seperation anxiety scale (PSAS): 1= Easy seperation, 2=Whimpers but easily reassured, 3=Cries and cannot be easily reassured, but not clinging to parents, 4=Cries and clinging to parents. A PSAS score of 1 and 2 were considered as 'successful parental seperation'.

    Measured: Preoperative

  2. Mask Acceptance Score

    Mask acceptance was evaluated using a four-point scale, i.e., mask acceptance scale (MAS):

    1=Excellent (unafraid, cooperative, and accepts mask easily), 2=Good (slight fear of mask , easily reassured), 3=Fair (moderate fear of mask, not calmed with reassurance), 4=Poor (terrified, crying, or combative). The score of 1 and 2 considered as 'satisfactory' mask acceptance.

    Measured: Before induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Precedex and Midazolam in people with Premedication, run by Aydin Adnan Menderes 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2020. 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?

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 Scale (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 NCT03357718, 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 29 May 2020.
