Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Oral melatonin  given in standard dose of 0.1mg/kg only once as anxiolytic premedication. DSST and TMT tests are done pre drug and 1 hr post drug administration to see the neurocognitive and psychomotor effects. An accelerometer based device is strapped on to the wrist to see sedation depth as sleep score 
Intervention  oral midazolam, nasal midazolam, orobuccal melatonin, placebo sterile water oral  one of the above drugs in standard dosage are given to the patient according to the group allocated only once, as an anxiolytic premedication. Midazolam dose 0.2mg/kg and melatonin 0.1mg/kg given only once. then DSST and TMT tests are done pre drug administration and one hour post administration to see neurocognitive and psychomotor effects. An accelerometer based device is strapped on to wrist to see sedation depth as sleep score

Response - NO
Brief Summary  
Anxiety before surgery occurs commonly and if untreated, can lead to intra and post operative hemodynamic issues due to sympathetic overdrive, as well as higher chances of infection and delayed wound healing. Hence pre operative anxiolytic medications have to be given. But all these anxiolytics have effects on the cognition and psychomotor function; which can be detrimental in daycare surgery,older patients and susceptible population. So in this study, we plan to study the effects of commonly used anxiolytics namely midazolam (oral and intranasal) and melatonin (oral and orobuccal) in standard doses and their effect on neurocognitive and psychomotor functions. The hypothesis being oral melatonin will have the least effects on neurocognitive and psychomotor functions when compared to midazolam in any route.
