About this study
Purpose: This study compared administration of midazolam via intravenous route with nasal atomizer route for moderate sedation in an office-based vasectomy clinic.
Read the detailed description
Purpose: This study compares administration of midazolam via intravenous route with nasal atomizer route for moderate sedation in an office-based vasectomy clinic.
Patients and methods: Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: midazolam given via traditional intravenous route or midazolam via a nasal atomizer. Outcomes are patient perception of anxiety with the drug delivery method, discomfort with administration, pain during the procedure, and length of sedation effects. Medical personnel rated ease of use, efficacy, time to sedation and time to transport after procedure.
- Being tested
- midazolam by nasal atomizer, intravenous midazolam

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.
