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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a “goal-directed” approach to sedation (giving the right amount based on target goals) for children who need a breathing machine in the pediatric ICU. The goal is to reduce brain and recovery side effects while keeping children comfortable and safe.
This trial tests a medication called dexmedetomidine to help keep premature babies calm and comfortable while on a breathing machine. It may reduce the need for stronger sedatives and improve recovery.
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 trial tests if a drug called dexmedetomidine works better than morphine to manage pain and discomfort in newborns who are undergoing cooling therapy after a brain injury at birth. It may help your baby be more comfortable during treatment.
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.
