midazolam and Learning Disabilities

midazolam has been researched along with Learning Disabilities in 10 studies

Midazolam: A short-acting hypnotic-sedative drug with anxiolytic and amnestic properties. It is used in dentistry, cardiac surgery, endoscopic procedures, as preanesthetic medication, and as an adjunct to local anesthesia. The short duration and cardiorespiratory stability makes it useful in poor-risk, elderly, and cardiac patients. It is water-soluble at pH less than 4 and lipid-soluble at physiological pH.
midazolam : An imidazobenzodiazepine that is 4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine which is substituted by a methyl, 2-fluorophenyl and chloro groups at positions 1, 6 and 8, respectively.

Learning Disabilities: Conditions characterized by a significant discrepancy between an individual's perceived level of intellect and their ability to acquire new language and other cognitive skills. These may result from organic or psychological conditions. Relatively common subtypes include DYSLEXIA, DYSCALCULIA, and DYSGRAPHIA.

Trial Outcomes

Mean Anxiety Score Experienced During Version

Anxiety scores will be collected following each version attempt using an 11 point scale (0 being not at all anxious; 10 being extremely anxious), ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate more anxiety, lower scores indicate less anxiety. If more than one attempt, anxiety scores will be averaged to obtain a single score for the entire procedure. (NCT03502915)
Timeframe: During each version procedure, a total average of up to approximately 30 minutes

Interventionscore on a scale (Mean)
Nitrous Oxide4.696
Oxygen4.253

Mean Pain Score Experienced During Version

Pain scores will be collected following each version attempt using an 11 point scale (with 0 being no pain at all; 10 being worst pain imaginable), ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate more pain, lower scores indicate less pain. If more than one attempt, pain scores will be averaged to obtain a single score for the entire procedure. (NCT03502915)
Timeframe: During each version procedure, a total average of up to approximately 30 minutes

Interventionscore on a scale (Mean)
Nitrous Oxide5.486
Oxygen5.433

Mean Post-procedure Pain Score

Pain scores will be collected following completion of the version using an 11 point scale (0 being no pain at all; 10 being worst pain imaginable), ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate more pain, lower scores indicate less pain. (NCT03502915)
Timeframe: Immediately Post-procedure, within approximately 15 minutes of final version attempt

Nitrous Oxide1
Oxygen0.88

Mean Post-procedure Patient Satisfaction Score

Satisfaction will be assessed following the procedure using an 11 point scale (0 being not at all satisfied; 10 being extremely satisfied), ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate more satisfaction, lower scores indicate less satisfaction. (NCT03502915)
Timeframe: Immediately Post-procedure, within approximately 15 minutes of final version attempt

Interventionscore on a scale (Mean)
Nitrous Oxide4.286
Oxygen6.920

Mean Post-procedure Provider Assessed Level of Difficulty Score

Following the procedure, the obstetric provider performing the procedure will rate the ease of procedure on a 1-10 scale (1 being very easy and 10 being extremely difficult), ranging from 1 to 10. Higher scores indicate more difficulty, lower scores indicate less difficulty. A 10 point scale was used for this outcome, while an 11 point scale was used for the other 4 outcome measures (pain, anxiety, post-procedure pain and satisfaction). (NCT03502915)
Timeframe: Immediately Post-procedure, within approximately 15 minutes of final version attempt
