Breathing-mist medicines for cleft palate surgery pain control
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a breathing mist of two medicines (dexmedetomidine plus ketamine) works better than dexmedetomidine alone during cleft palate repair surgery. It may help improve comfort and safety around anesthesia for eligible patients.

This trial tests two different sedation medicines given as a nasal spray (atomized) to help patients relax and feel no pain during emergency procedures. It compares two medicines to see which works better for both children and adults.
This trial tests whether a breathing treatment (nebulized numbing medicine) can reduce pain during cleft palate repair in young children. It may help comfort your child after surgery when they are under general anesthesia.
This trial tests two inhaled medicines given before surgery to see which one works better for pain after nasal surgery. One medicine is ketamine and the other is dexmedetomidine, both given as a mist through a nebulizer.
This trial tests whether giving children a medication called dexmedetomidine makes placing a breathing tube (called a laryngeal mask airway) smoother and reduces coughing after surgery, compared to another medication called lidocaine.
