Revisiting Survey Investigating Why Patients Are Not Receiving Home Anti-convulsant Medication Prior to Surgery/or Procedure Involving General Anesthesia
NCT01897974 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Children with seizure disorder face unique challenges during the perioperative period. Fasting, sleep-deprivation, and missed doses of medications while patients are required to have nothing per mouth (NPO) are a few factors that decrease the seizure threshold. The incidence of seizures in this population is unknown but correlated with patient's underlying condition and missed doses of anti-convulsant. Previous work has determined this is not a unique problem. The investigators initially found compliance extremely poor at 60%. The investigators have made improvement to about 80% compliance through various interventions: education of nursing, availability of anticonvulsant intravenous dosing alternatives, and re-wording the hospital NPO policy. The investigators feel that a new, more focused, survey will help identify, perioperative reasons for non-compliance on part of the parents. This information will be utilized to guide further interventions aimed at improving compliance.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01897974
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01897974 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 300 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Vidya Raman, which has 2 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Seizures appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Survey is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01897974 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
