An interventional study of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and Placebo transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, Pain and Propofol Adverse Reaction, sponsored by Kyungpook National University Hospital. Status unknown at 1 site in South Korea. Open to participants aged 19 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-01-19.

Propofol, an intravenous sedative agent, frequently produces pain during injection. This study was designed to investigate whether transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation could reduce pain during propofol injection.
in minimizing propofol injection pain.
Twenty min after transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, the electrodes were removed and propofol 0.5 mg/kg was administered at the rate of 0.5 ml/sec using syringe pump. Propofol injection pain was evaluated by a study blinded anesthesiologist using a four point scale: 0=no (negative response to questioning), 1=mild pain (pain reported only in response to questioning without any behavioral sings), 2=moderate pain (pain reported in response to questioning and accompanied by a behavioral signs or pain reported spontaneously without questioning, 3=severe pain (strong vocal response or response accompanied by facial grimacing, arm withdrawal or tears).
2,450 studies on the registry are indexed under Pain; 945 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 80 is above the median of 70 across 2,101 interventional studies indexed under Pain.

Time frame: 15 seconds
Started Jun 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jan 2022, 7 months after the start.
Of 1,253 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pain, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 29. This study's planned 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,276 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 30.
