Testing how morphine (with or without midazolam) behaves in NICU babies
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study measures how morphine works in very young babies, and whether adding midazolam changes how the medicines behave and affect the body. It may help doctors better choose and dose pain/sedation medicines for babies in intensive care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is younger than 45 weeks of corrected gestational age
- Your baby is in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
- Your baby is on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation)
- Your baby is receiving a continuous IV drip of morphine, either alone or with midazolam
- Your family is covered by the local social security system
- Your baby weighs at least 600 grams

This trial tests a medicine called dexmedetomidine to keep premature babies calm and comfortable while they are on a breathing machine. It may help reduce pain and stress for your baby during this difficult time.
This study compares two sedative medicines, dexmedetomidine and midazolam, to see which one helps preterm babies on a ventilator breathe on their own sooner. Your baby may be eligible if they were born very early and need medicine to relax while on the breathing machine.
This study tests two different pain medicines (dexmedetomidine and morphine) given to newborns during cooling therapy, which is a treatment to help reduce brain injury. The goal is to see which medicine works better for comfort and safety.
This trial tests whether a medicine called midazolam, given as nose drops, helps reduce stress and pain in premature babies during the routine eye exam for retinopathy of prematurity (an eye problem in premature babies). If your baby is eligible, they may receive this medicine during the exam to make it more comfortable.
This study compares two different pain and sedation medicines (fentanyl and morphine) given continuously through an IV to help patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the ICU. The goal is to see which medicine works better and is safer for keeping you comfortable and calm.
This study looks at whether dexmedetomidine changes the minimum amount of sevoflurane (an inhaled anesthesia medicine) needed during surgery in young children. It may help doctors choose safer, more accurate anesthesia dosing for kids undergoing surgery.
