Circadian Clock clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

The Effect of Circadian Clock System on Perioperative Cognitive Function of Elderly Patients

Start date: January 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common postoperative complication in patients aged 65 and above. It refers to the cognitive function changes such as memory decline and attention loss after anesthesia and surgery. In serious cases, people may also experience personality changes and decline in social behavior ability, which will develop into irreversible cognitive impairment.Some studies reported that 25.8% of elderly patients presented POCD one week after non-cardiac surgery, and the incidence at 3 months after surgery was still 9.9%, which could increase the mortality in the first year after surgery.In recent years, studies have also proved that POCD is associated with patients' inability to perform their original jobs after non-cardiac surgery.Postoperative cognitive dysfunction seriously affects the clinical outcome, in addition to medical costs and other issues will bring an impact on the society and family.With the aging of the population, how to prevent cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients is a major challenge for perioperative management.There is a certain correlation between circadian rhythm and the dosage of general anesthesia, and postoperative sleep disturbance may be related to the effect of anesthesia and surgery on circadian rhythm.Preoperative sleep deprivation is known to be an independent risk factor for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), but the circadian mechanisms involved after general anesthesia are not yet clear
