Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18-64 with insomnia or normal sleep patterns scheduled for digestive endoscopy under intravenous anesthesia.

Probably not a fit

Patients with neurological diseases, daily alcohol consumption, or contraindications to intravenous anesthetics may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to compare the dosage requirements of intravenous anesthetics in patients with insomnia undergoing digestive endoscopy versus those with normal sleep patterns. The researchers will assess whether insomnia affects the amount of anesthetic needed for safe and effective sedation during the procedure. By analyzing the differences in dosage, the study seeks to provide insights into the management of anesthesia in patients with sleep disorders. No interventions will be applied, as the focus is on observational data collection.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved anesthetic management for patients with insomnia undergoing endoscopic procedures.

How similar studies have gone: While similar studies on anesthetic dosage in various populations exist, this specific comparison between insomnia and normal sleep patterns is relatively novel.
