Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of melatonin, diazepam, and placebo on the level of anxiety in patients undergoing surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is melatonin effective in reducing the anxiety of patients undergoing surgery? Participants will be asked to answer a questionnaire then they will receive either melatonin, diazepam, or placebo, and then after an hour, they will answer the same questionnaire again. Researchers will compare melatonin, diazepam, and placebo to see if melatonin is as effective in reducing the level of anxiety as diazepam in patients undergoing surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

Anxiety is a tense unpleasant sensation experienced by many individuals secondary to their concerns or due to the anticipation of an unpleasant experience like a surgery. Even with the advancement of medical treatment, preoperative anxiety remains a widespread complaint that affects the patients psychologically and physically, and at the same time adversely affecting the outcome of the operation and the experience of the patient. In this triple-blind, randomized clinical study, we aim to compare melatonin to diazepam regarding its efficacy in reducing preoperative anxiety, as well as assessing multiple other effects such as sedation, orientation, and cognition, by applying validated tools to patients undergoing elective surgeries before and after administering the premedication. ;
