Recruiting studies
- NCT06052254RecruitingPhase 2
Skin patch for agitation in Alzheimer's dementia
This trial tests a skin patch that delivers a medicine called dexmedetomidine to help calm agitation in people with Alzheimer's disease. It might be an option for those living in a care facility who have had recent episodes of agitation.
Chino, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06003127Recruiting
Recovery from dexmedetomidine-induced unconsciousness
This study explores how people recover after being given a common sedative called dexmedetomidine. It may help doctors better understand and manage recovery from sedation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT05736198Recruiting
Compare two sedation options for awake intubation
This trial compares two different sedation choices for people who have airway conditions that make breathing tubes harder to place, and who still need an awake fiberoptic intubation. It may help find a sedation approach that’s safer and more comfortable during the procedure.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05681572RecruitingPhase 3
Sedation before surgery to help kids feel better after anesthesia
This study tests whether giving a calming medicine before general anesthesia improves how children feel and experience anesthesia afterward. The goal is to see which pre-surgery approach works best and is comfortable for kids.
Montpellier, MontpellierAges 7–18 - NCT05439005RecruitingPhase 3
Opioid-free anesthesia for breast reconstructive flap surgery
This trial compares opioid-free anesthesia with opioid-based anesthesia during breast free-flap reconstruction surgery. It aims to see whether avoiding opioids can improve safety and comfort around the time of surgery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03756961Recruiting
Opioid-free care plan for people having weight-loss surgery
This trial studies whether an opioid-free or opioid-sparing care pathway can improve comfort and outcomes for adults undergoing laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. It may help people avoid side effects from opioid pain medicines while still managing pain safely.
Lindesberg, Region ÖrebroAges 18 years+ - NCT03593408Recruiting
Study drug levels in children on ECMO
This study measures how sedating and pain medicines move through the body in children who are supported by ECMO (a heart-lung machine). It may help doctors choose safer and more effective dosing for sedation and pain control during ECMO.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–17 years - NCT04669457Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Study of delirium risk in young children having ear surgery
This trial looks at confusion or “delirium” after anesthesia in babies and young children having a myringotomy (ear procedure). It may help doctors understand which children are more likely to experience delirium and how to reduce that risk.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 3 months–9 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dexmedetomidine?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 176 recruiting dexmedetomidine studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a dexmedetomidine trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a dexmedetomidine trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
