CLINICAL TRIALS PROFILE FOR ADRENALIN

All Clinical Trials for Adrenalin

Trial ID	Title	Status	Sponsor	Phase	Start Date	Summary
NCT00202358 ↗	Perioperative Effect of Atenolol on Cytokine Profiles	Unknown status	Medtronic - MITG	Phase 4	2002-11-01	Studies have shown that beta-blockers such as atenolol when given in the perioperative period reduce morbidity and mortality. One study showed that atenolol given just during the surgery period, seemed to improve outcomes up to 2 years later. This is hard to explain since beta-blockers act on the body by blocking the effects of adrenalin and thereby lowering heart rate and blood pressure. This study is designed to find out if perioperative atenolol might exert its long term effects through an anti-inflammatory mechanism rather than by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. It is known that inflammation increases after surgery as part of the healing process. However, it is also becoming clear that low-grade chronic inflammation can also lead to long term adverse effects.

NCT00562627 ↗	Efficacy of Multimodal Peri- and Intraarticular Drug Injections in Total Knee Arthroplasty	Completed	Asker & Baerum Hospital	Phase 4	2007-11-01	Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain, causing patient discomfort, mobilisation and hospital discharge. The aim of this study is to: 1. Compare analgetic efficacy of to types of local infiltration analgesia in total knee arthroplasty. 2. Compare analgetic efficacy of local infiltration analgesia with continuous epidural analgesia.
NCT00622817 ↗	The Influence of Inhaled Adrenalin Versus Decongestant as a Local Nasal Treatment in Bronchiolitis	Completed	Schneider Children's Medical Center, Israel	N/A	2004-10-01	This was a randomized, double blinded, controlled trial. The aim of the study was to compare xylometazoline HCL nasal drops to inhalation of epinephrine as a treatment for bronchiolitis. The study hypothesis is:xylometazoline HCL nasal drops treatment is good as epinephrine inhalation for treatment of bronchiolitis. Signed informed consent was obtained from a parent of each child. And the human ethics committee of our hospital approved the study according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.(Approved - 2002) Patients: 65 infants who were admitted to Pediatric A- a general pediatric ward, in Schneider Children's Medical Center because of bronchiolitis during winter in two consecutive years 2004-2005. The inclusion criteria were: Full term previously healthy Infants, ages 1-12 months, after informed consent was signed with clinical presentation of mild to moderate bronchiolitis according to a clinical score .Exclusion criteria were as follows: prematurity, congenital lung or cardiac disease, infants who had past hospitalization due to respiratory illness and severe bronchiolitis (score>7 with a range scale 0-10).
