About this study

Official title: Does Proparacaine Enhance Strabismus Recovery

Observational study to determine if topical anesthetic and intraoperative oculocardiac reflex influence post strabismus surgery recovery.

Read the detailed description

In an observational study with de-identified data of oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and strabismus surgery under routine anesthesia, a cohort of ongoing patients received topical proparacaine immediately post op, or none. Co-variables were intraoperative opioid and OCR, patient age, type of surgery. Several post-operative recovery outcome variables were prospectively monitored.

What is being measured

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

  1. pain (post op pain Likert scale)

    pain scale description / observation.. Pain is ranked by patient or nurse from 0 (no pain) to 9 (much pain)

    Measured: hours (1-4) in recovery room

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. nausea

    observed or described nausea (presence or absence of nausea / vomiting)

    Measured: hours (1-4) in recovery room

  2. heart rate

    recovery room heart rate

    Measured: hours (1-4) while in recovery room

  3. time to recovery

    time in recovery room

    Measured: minutes (30-240) from entry recovery room to discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Strabismus and Bradycardia, run by Alaska Blind Child Discovery.

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 19 Oct 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.

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?

pain (post op pain Likert scale) (time frame: hours (1-4) in recovery room). 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 NCT03672435, 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 19 Oct 2020.
