Recruiting studies

Numbing Nose Spray vs. Calming Liquid Before Pediatric Surgery

Diyarbakır, Outside of the USAges 2–10 - NCT07245654Recruiting
Monitoring anesthesia depth in children during surgery start-up
This study tests a special monitoring device (CONOX) that tracks how deeply a child is asleep and their pain level during anesthesia. The goal is to see if it helps make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for kids having surgery.
BrnoAges 1–19 - NCT07435675Recruiting
Nerve block to prevent agitation after ear surgery in children
This study tests if a nerve block behind the ear can help children ages 5–14 stay calm and comfortable after middle ear surgery. It may reduce confusion and restlessness when waking up from anesthesia.
Al Fayyum, Faiyum GovernorateAges 5–14 - NCT07410078Recruiting
Comparing medicines given before surgery for children
This trial compares different medicines given by mouth before surgery to see which works best to help children relax and have less pain. If your child is having day surgery, this study might help find the best pre-surgery medicine for them.
AnkaraAges 4–12 - NCT05837936Recruiting
IV anesthesia approach for young children during surgery
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children under 10 during surgery, with a focus on how the child wakes up and breathes when the breathing tube is removed. It may help doctors choose safer, smoother anesthesia for pediatric surgeries.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges Up to 9 years - NCT07449884Recruiting
AI avatar vs. tell-show-do for children's dental anxiety
This trial compares using an AI avatar video with the traditional tell-show-do method to help children aged 5 to 7 feel less anxious and cooperate better during a numbing injection at the dentist. It may benefit children who have never had dental anesthesia before and are generally healthy.
BeirutAges 5–7 - NCT07675798Recruiting
Caudal block for reducing fistula after hypospadias repair
This study tests whether a numbing injection into the lower back (caudal block) reduces the risk of a leak or fistula after hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. It may help your child have fewer complications and a smoother recovery.
Diyarbakır, Eyalet/YerleşkeAges 6 months–5 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 - NCT07088900Recruiting
Dexmedetomidine with bupivacaine for pain relief in children's appendix surgery
This trial tests if adding dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine (a numbing medicine given near the tailbone) provides better pain relief during and after appendix surgery in children. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines.
CairoAges 2–7 - NCT06576596Recruiting
Oxygen during breathing tube placement in children
This study tests a method to keep children breathing easily while their airway is being prepared for surgery. It may help children who are 0-6 years old and having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges birth–6 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 - NCT07059624Recruiting
Femoral artery line placement in children having heart surgery
This study looks at how to put a small tube (arterial line) into the leg artery of children having heart surgery. It is meant to help doctors find the best way to do this safely.
BeirutAges Up to 12 years - NCT06853756Recruiting
Comparing two airway devices in children having orthopedic surgery
This trial compares two types of breathing tubes (I-gel and Ambu AuraGain) used during anesthesia to see which one causes less air to enter the stomach. It is for children ages 2-12 having planned orthopedic surgery.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 2–12 - NCT07577154Recruiting
