Registration Number
NCT05266560
Lead Sponsor
First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University
Brief Summary

In this clinical study, propofol was used as the positive control, and a randomized controlled trial design was used to observe the effects of ciprofol anesthesia on learning and memory function and antidepressant efficacy in patients with ECT. A total of 390 depressed patients who were to undergo electroconvulsive therapy were selected and randomly divided into two groups, namely the propofol group (n=195 cases) and the ciprofol group (n=195 cases). The patients in the propofol group were given propofol 1.5mg/kg + succinylcholine 1mg/kg, and the patients in the ciprofol group were given ciprofol 0.4mg/kg and succinylcholine 1mg/kg, and the patients were given electroshock after anesthesia treat.

Detailed Description

Ciprofol injection, whose active component (HSK3486) is propofol analogue, is a novel treatment for anesthesia induction and maintenance. It has been authorized for commercialization in China on December 14, 2020.

The purpose of this experiment is to know the effect of ciprofol on the antidepressant effect and cognitive function of depressive patients after electroconvulsive therapy. Ciprofol is very similar in structure to propofol, so propofol was used as the control group in this experiment.

Propofol injection group (1.5mg/kg)PropofolThe patients in the propofol group were given intravenous injection of propofol 1.5 mg/kg and succinylcholine 1 mg/kg in turn, and the interval between each drug administration was 1 minute, and electroconvulsive therapy was performed after the patients were anesthetized.
Ciprofol injection group(0.4mg/kg)ciprofolThe patients in the ciprofol group were given intravenous injection of ciprofol 0.4 mg/kg and succinylcholine 1 mg/kg in turn. The interval between each drug administration was 1 minute, and the patients received electroconvulsive therapy after anesthesia.
