Recruiting studies
- NCT07435675Recruiting
Nerve block to prevent agitation after ear surgery in children

Viet Tri, Phu ThoAges 18 years+ - NCT07243990Recruiting
Monitoring brain activity to reduce post-anesthesia confusion in kids
This trial tests if using a brain monitor during anesthesia can help lessen agitation in children after surgery. If your child is 6-12, generally healthy, and having a non-emergency surgery, this might be relevant.
SakaryaAges 6–12 - NCT07510516Recruiting
Verbal reminders to reduce confusion after anesthesia
This study tests whether giving a simple verbal reminder (like telling you where you are) after anesthesia can help reduce confusion or agitation when waking up. It is for adults having laparoscopic abdominal surgery under a specific inhaled anesthetic.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT06370689Recruiting
Comparing ways to get more oxygen before anesthesia
This study tests different methods to increase oxygen levels in your blood before you receive anesthesia, which may help you breathe easier during the procedure. It is for adults with normal weight or overweight, and healthy children aged 6 to 12.
BolzanoAges 6 years+ - NCT07675863Recruiting
Communication delays and anesthesia in emergencies
This study tests how communication delays affect anesthesia responses during medical emergencies and ultrasound-guided procedures. It may help identify ways to improve teamwork and safety in critical situations.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges Any age - NCT07571707Recruiting
Lollipops to Reduce Confusion After Surgery in Young Children
This study tests whether giving children a lollipop after surgery helps prevent confusion and agitation as they wake up from anesthesia. Emergence delirium—when children are disoriented and upset after anesthesia—is common, and the researchers want to see if this simple comfort measure helps.
Denpasar, BaliAges 2–6 - NCT07534215Recruiting
Brain monitoring during surgery to reduce confusion in young children
This study tests whether using special brain-monitoring devices during anesthesia can help reduce confusion and agitation that sometimes happens after surgery in children ages 1–6. The goal is to improve recovery by helping doctors manage anesthesia more precisely.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 1–6 - NCT07534956Recruiting
Anesthesia Methods and Waking Up Agitation in Children
This study compares different anesthesia approaches to see which one helps children wake up more calmly after urogenital surgery (surgery on the urinary or reproductive system). Researchers want to find the best way to reduce agitation and confusion as children wake up from anesthesia.
IstanbulAges 3–10 - NCT07726875Enrolling by invitation
Orexin and confusion after surgery in older adults
This study looks at a brain chemical called orexin (which helps control wakefulness) in older adults after surgery. The goal is to see if orexin levels are linked to confusion or agitation that can happen when waking up from anesthesia. If you take part, your blood will be tested before and after surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT07046364RecruitingPhase 4
Remimazolam for confusion after pediatric brain surgery
This study tests a medicine called remimazolam to see if it reduces confusion and agitation (emergence delirium) when children wake up from brain surgery. It may help your child have a smoother recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–6 - NCT07369128RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two sleep medicines for children having an MRI
This trial tests whether using one sleep medicine (propofol) alone works as well as using it with another medicine (dexmedetomidine) for children getting an MRI. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to help kids stay still during the scan.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–12 - NCT06324955Recruiting
Using words during mask anesthesia in children
This study looks at whether simple spoken words during the process of falling asleep with a breathing mask can help children ages 5–10 have a better experience. The goal is to make anesthesia induction less scary for kids.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–10 - NCT05800639Recruiting
Testing brain-wave patterns during pediatric anesthesia awakening
This study looks at brain-wave activity (measured with sensors) in young children during and after general anesthesia for planned eye surgery. It may help doctors understand why some children become very upset or confused as they wake up.
SeoulAges 2–8 - NCT07565116Recruiting
Numbing Nose Spray vs. Calming Liquid Before Pediatric Surgery
This trial compares two safe, common ways to help children relax before surgery: a medicine sprayed in the nose versus a medicine given by mouth. The goal is to see which one works better and is easier for kids.
Diyarbakır, Outside of the USAges 2–10 - NCT07287293Recruiting
Suctioning vs no suctioning when waking from anesthesia
This trial compares two ways of managing your breathing tube when you wake up from general anesthesia: suctioning the tube or not. It aims to see which method is more comfortable and safer for you after surgery.
Samut SakhonAges 18 years+ - NCT06545786Recruiting
Brain monitoring during surgery to prevent confusion
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
Moscow, Moscow OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT07519863RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing sedation medicines for burned children during procedures
This study tests two different sedation medicine combinations to see which one reduces confusion and agitation (called delirium) when children with burn injuries need procedures done. The goal is to find the safest, most comfortable option for your child during treatment.
CairoAges 3–16 - NCT07403773Recruiting
Home doll vs hospital doll for preschool girls before surgery
This study compares having your child bring her own doll from home versus using a hospital doll to help her feel less anxious before tonsil or adenoid surgery. The goal is to see which doll works better to reduce fear.
Ankara, ÇANKAYAAges 3–7 - NCT07403747Recruiting
Using a ride-on toy car to reduce anxiety during surgery prep

AnkaraAges 3–7 - NCT07557576Recruiting
Pain management approaches for children having cleft surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia (with and without opioid painkillers) for children undergoing cleft lip or palate surgery. The goal is to see which approach better controls pain after surgery and reduces agitation as the child wakes up.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for emergence from anesthesia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 32 recruiting emergence from anesthesia 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 emergence from anesthesia 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 emergence from anesthesia 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.
