Ketamine sedation for ERCP procedure
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using ketamine as a sleep/sedation medicine during ERCP (a scope procedure to check/clear bile or pancreatic ducts) is safe and effective. If you’re scheduled for ERCP and can consent, this study may help doctors improve sedation options for patients like you.

This study compares two medicines (esketamine and sufentanil) used to keep you relaxed and comfortable during an ERCP procedure. It is for people who are in generally good health and need sedation for this scope test.
This trial tests a sedative called remimazolam for people who need a high-risk ERCP procedure (a scope exam of the bile ducts). It is looking at whether remimazolam can provide safe and effective sedation for patients with serious health problems.
This study compares different sedation approaches for ERCP, a procedure that treats problems in the bile ducts and pancreas. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
This study tests if a radiologist can safely give deep sedation medicine (ketamine) for certain procedures instead of general anesthesia. It might help you avoid general anesthesia while still being comfortable.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation on certain acupuncture points (called TEAS) can help you relax and reduce discomfort during an ERCP procedure, instead of usual sedation alone. It is for people having a planned ERCP for gallbladder, bile duct, or pancreas issues.
This study tests whether adding ketamine to the usual numbing medicine makes minor procedures in the emergency department less painful. You may be a good fit if you are having a small procedure like stitches or abscess drainage.
