Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a liquid sedation medicine (called dexmedetomidine) that your child drinks before an MRI. The goal is to see if it works as well as general anesthesia to keep children still during the scan, with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether using one sleep medicine (propofol) alone works as well as using it with another medicine (dexmedetomidine) for children getting an MRI. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to help kids stay still during the scan.
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 trial tests a nasal spray sedative (dexmedetomidine) to help children stay calm during a brain MRI. It may be an option if your child struggles with the scan due to age or cooperation issues.
This study looks at how anesthesia affects kidney function in children during an MRI. Your child's kidney function will be checked before and after the scan to help doctors understand how these medicines work in young patients.
This study compares two MRI scan settings (a lower and higher magnetic field) in children to see how well they work for pediatric patients. It may help doctors choose the best MRI approach for kids without changing any care beyond the scan itself.
