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.

- 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.
