This study tests a computer program that helps doctors watch your vital signs while you are sedated for a routine gastrointestinal procedure, with the goal of making sedation safer and more personalized.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07763860Recruiting
Music during endoscopy procedures
This study tests whether listening to music during an endoscopy (a tube with a camera used to look inside your digestive tract) can make the procedure more comfortable and less stressful. Participants will wear headphones and listen to music while the procedure is done under sedation.
SidonAges 18 years+ - NCT06867289Recruiting
Nasal sedation study for children during brain MRI
This trial tests a nasal spray sedative (dexmedetomidine) to help children stay calm during a brain MRI. It may be an option if your child struggles with the scan due to age or cooperation issues.

Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 12–90 - NCT07532733Recruiting
Sedation Safety During Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Procedure
This study examines how a specific sedative medication (dexmedetomidine) affects breathing and heart function during a minimally invasive procedure to replace a faulty heart valve. Researchers want to ensure the sedation is safe and effective for older adults.
BrusselsAges 60 years+ - NCT07013695Recruiting
Virtual reality to reduce sedation in orthopedic surgery

Barcelona, BarcelonaAges Any age - NCT01390675Recruiting
Registry for heart valve replacement anesthesia during TAVR
This study tracks patients who get a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR), a procedure to replace a narrowed heart valve without open-heart surgery. It looks at the type of anesthesia used during the procedure and records outcomes to learn what works best for patients.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07542730RecruitingPhase 4
Diphenhydramine to ease discomfort during early abortion procedure

- How do I know if I qualify for a procedural sedation 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 procedural sedation 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.
