Trial summary

Gliomas are the most common primary intracranial malignancy, and behavioral experiments in patients with supratentorial gliomas under sedation have shown potential neurological abnormalities; however, these behavioral experiments are susceptible to external influences. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers

Study population: Patients aged between 18 and 60 years with American Society of Anesthesiology status I or II who were scheduled to receive elective surgery under general anesthesia. Patients with supratentorial glioma in right frontal lobe diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging were included in the glioma group while patients requiring general anesthesia without intracranial-occupying lesion were included in the control group.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with supratentorial glioma in right frontal lobe, and patients requiring general anesthesia without intracranial-occupying lesion;
  • Aged 18-60 years;
  • ASA I to II;
  • All those who sign the informed consent form.

Who cannot join

  • Obese patients, BMI>30kg/m2;
  • Patients with Mallampati class III to IV airway anatomy;
  • Combined with other neurological or psychiatric diseases;
  • Combined with disturbance of consciousness;
  • Previous intracranial surgery;
  • Known or suspected cardiac dysfunction;
  • Allergic to intravenous general anesthetics;
  • Long-term history of analgesia, sedation and drug abuse.

About this study

Official title: EEG Characteristics of Different Sedation Depths in Patients With Supratentorial Glioma in Frontal Lobe

Gliomas are the most common primary intracranial malignancy, and behavioral experiments in patients with supratentorial gliomas under sedation have shown potential neurological abnormalities; however, these behavioral experiments are susceptible to external influences. Therefore, more objective evidence is needed to support and extend the existing conclusions. The purpose of this study is to compare the EEG signatures (such as the EEG signal power) at various levels of anesthetics induced sedation in patients with supratentorial glioma in frontal lobe and in patients without intracranial-occupying lesion.

Being tested
OAA/S=5, OAA/S=3, OAA/S=1

What participants receive

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

  • OAA/S=5Other

    Prior to anesthesia induciton, EEG signatures will be recorded at Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) score of 5 (awake, eye-close state) for few minutes.

  • OAA/S=3Other

    Given sedative anesthetics (propofol, midazolam or dexmetomidine), EEG signatures will be recorded after reaching steady state of OAA/S=3 (responds only after name called loudly and/or repeatedly) for few minutes.

  • OAA/S=1Other

    Increasing drug concentration, EEG signatures will be recorded after reaching steady state of OAA/S=1 (does not respond to noxious stimuli) for few minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. 1. The time-frequency characteristics of EEG power changes at different sedation depths in neurosurgical patients.

    The EEG power will be calculated by raw signal at awake, eye-closed state and after reaching the steady-state sedation depths of OAA/S=3 and OAA/S=1.

    Measured: Prior to anesthesia induction, three minutes after reaching the target level of sedation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Electroencephalography, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 2 sites in China.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 6 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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.

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?

1. The time-frequency characteristics of EEG power changes at different sedation depths in neurosurgical patients. (time frame: Prior to anesthesia induction, three minutes after reaching the target level of sedation). 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 6 Feb 2023.
