Scientists pinpoint optimal sedation dose for safer gastroscopy across ages

NCT ID NCT07678411

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study aims to find the 90% effective dose of tegileridine, a painkiller, when combined with propofol for sedation during painless gastroscopy. Researchers will test different doses in young (18-65) and elderly (65+) adults to see which dose best prevents movement, coughing, or blood pressure changes during the procedure. The goal is to improve sedation safety and effectiveness for both age groups.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
tegileridine combined with propofol
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a precise, safer sedation dose for gastroscopy in different age groups, reducing side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase dose-finding study, not a large effectiveness trial. Results may not apply to all patients or procedures.
