Sweet comfort for babies during nose scope
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests if giving a sweet solution (sucrose) to babies can make a flexible nose scope exam more comfortable. It may help reduce pain and stress during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is younger than 12 months old.
- Your baby is scheduled for a nose scope exam with Dr. Wolter, Dr. Siu, or Meghan Tepsich at SickKids.
- Your baby needs the scope to check their airway.
- Your baby was born at least 37 weeks or later (adjusted for due date).
- Your baby is awake and able to respond normally to pain or discomfort.
- Your baby does not have certain conditions that make sweet solution unsafe (like problems digesting sugar, past aspiration, or serious gut issues).

This study tests if giving a small amount of sugar water (50% dextrose) by mouth can help reduce pain in babies who need a bladder catheter. It might be a gentler way to comfort infants during this procedure.
This trial compares two safe, common ways to help children relax before surgery: a medicine sprayed in the nose versus a medicine given by mouth. The goal is to see which one works better and is easier for kids.
This study tests whether a nasal decongestant spray can help prevent breathing problems during anesthesia for children with a cold. If your child has a recent cold and is having surgery, this could help make the anesthesia safer.
This trial tests if giving a sedative (midazolam) as a nose spray can help reduce pain and stress in premature babies during a routine eye exam for retinopathy of prematurity. It aims to make the exam more comfortable for babies.
This study tests a nose spray medicine (dexmedetomidine) to help reduce pain and discomfort in premature babies who need eye exams for retinopathy of prematurity (a condition that can affect vision). The goal is to see if the spray works better than the usual care for calming babies during the exam.
This Phase 3 study tests how two different nasal solutions work in the body, and checks their safety and side effects. It involves teens who are already scheduled for a diagnostic procedure or surgery that goes through the inside of the nose.
