Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be under 16 years old.

This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset or a 360-degree video on a screen can help children aged 5 to 10 stay calm during their first MRI without needing sedation. The goal is to see if a fun, immersive experience can replace the need for sleep medicine or anesthesia.
This trial uses EEG (a painless head sensor test) to study brain activity during anesthesia or sedation in both children and adults. The goal is to better understand how the brain responds to these medicines, which may help improve future care.
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.
This study tests whether adding caffeine to the usual sedation medicine helps children recover faster after an MRI. It looks at how quickly kids wake up and can go home.
This study checks how well a special MRI machine setting (low-field MRI) works for outpatients who are children. It may help your child get an MRI without extra sedation added for the study.
This early study (Phase 1) tests whether an oral medicine called dexmedetomidine can help children feel calmer and be safely sedated for a brain MRI. It may help make MRI scans easier for young children who need general anesthesia.
