Effects of Subanesthetic Dose of Ketamine Given on Postoperative Mood in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

When given intravenously in doses below 1.2mg/kg, ketamine has been shown to work as an antidepressant. Ketamine is a common induction drug used during general anesthesia. It is known to reduce postoperative pain in this instance. Limited studies have evaluated the effect of a single subanesthetic dosage of ketamine administered as an adjunct to general anesthesia on acute mood states in patients undergoing minor surgery. The aim of this randomized controlled study was to examine if a single intravenous administration of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine given at the induction of propofol/fentanyl anesthesia has an effect on acute mood states before the discharge of women undergoing fractional curettage.

Clinical Trial Description

Women admitted for fractional curettage between the ages of 18 and 75 were asked if they would like to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria included uncontrolled hypertension, pregnancy, history of psychologic disorders, use of brain-affecting medicines, substance abuse, seizure disorders, or ketamine allergy. After receiving informed consent, the patient would be given a POMS questionnaire. The participants were then assigned randomly to one of two groups. Group A will receive ketamine intravenously at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg as part of the induction process for general anesthesia. In addition to their anesthetic, Group B will get the same amount of saline instead of ketamine. Patients were treated by a different anesthetic professional (who is blinded to the group the patient is in). All other induction medicines were administered at the discretion of the anesthesiologist. Two hours after the surgery, participants were again administered the POMS questionnaire, questioned about their pain level, and their data sheet was updated accordingly. During the trial, the levels of sedation, systolic and diastolic blood pressures and heart rate were measured. In addition, any adverse events were documented. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

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.
