About this study

Official title: The Effect of Dexmedetomidine and Esmolol on Early Post Operative Cognitive Dysfunction After Middle Ear Surgery Under Hypotensive Technique :Comparative , Randomized Double Blinded Study

Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2adrenoceptor agonist recently introduced to anesthesia that produces dose dependent sedation, anxiolysis, and analgesia (involving spinal and supraspinal sites) without respiratory depression.

From a pharmacokinetic perspective,dexmedetomidine has a half life of nearly 2 hours, duration of action of nearly 4 hour, and thus, a side effect profile that is shorter in duration than clonidine.

Esmolol is a cardioselective beta₁ receptor blocker with rapid onset, a very short duration of action (elimination half-life is approximately 9 minutes) , and no significant intrinsic sympathomimetic or membrane stabilising activity at therapeutic dosages

Read the detailed description

The study will be a randomized double blinded study and will be carried by the Department of Anaesthesia at Beni-Suef University Hospital after obtaining approval from local research and ethical committee. Written informed consent will be obtained from each patient before operation. Aiming to assess of the early cognitive dysfunction after controlled hypotensive anesthesia with either dexmedetomidine or esmolol during middle ear surgeries

Being tested
Esmolol Hydrochloride, Dexmedetomidine

What participants receive

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

  • Esmolol HydrochlorideDrug

    Also called esmolol

    Patients will receive hypotensive anesthesia via I .V infusion with esmolol ( Esmolol Hydrochloride )

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    Also called precedex

    The Patients will receive hypotensive anesthesia via I .V infusion with dexmedetomidine (Percedex )

What is being measured

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

  1. assess the early cognitive dysfunction after controlled hypotensive anesthesia

    mini mental state examination (MMSE) will be used for evaluation of cognitive function Data will be expressed in mean ± SD and were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The significance of non-parametric data was determined using chi-square test. For all comparisons P < 0.05 was considered significant.,

    Measured: MMS will performed at 1 hour, 6 and 24 hours postoperatively .The mximum score will be 30 points, a decrease of 2 or more will be considered as cognitive function decline. score less than 23 will be considered as cognitive impairmen

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Esmolol Hydrochloride and Dexmedetomidine in people with Cognitive Dysfunction, run by Beni-Suef University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 9 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 27 Mar 2019. 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 Egypt. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Samaa ak Rashwan, MD (020120159125, samakassemrashwan@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

assess the early cognitive dysfunction after controlled hypotensive anesthesia (time frame: MMS will performed at 1 hour, 6 and 24 hours postoperatively .The mximum score will be 30 points, a decrease of 2 or more will be considered as cognitive function decline. score less than 23 will be considered as cognitive impairmen). 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 27 Mar 2019.
