Dexmedetomidine shot for pain control in young boys
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a medication called dexmedetomidine given near the lower back can better control pain after groin/scrotum surgery in young children. It may help reduce pain and make recovery more comfortable if your child is eligible.
