Sleep quality study for heart surgery patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies sleep problems before and after heart surgery. It tests two medicines to see if they can help improve sleep. This may help you recover better after surgery.

This study tests whether a combination of two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, can help improve sleep problems after major non-heart surgery. You may be eligible if you are having planned surgery lasting at least one hour and will use a pain pump after surgery.
This trial tests if giving two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, during and after surgery can help you feel better and recover more comfortably. It is for adults having general anesthesia for at least one hour who will use a patient-controlled pain pump afterward.
This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
This study tests whether a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) and a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help prevent confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery in older adults.
This trial tests whether a nasal spray with a calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) can reduce anxiety before brain surgery. It is given before the operation to help you feel more relaxed and calm.
This trial tests whether a drug called dexmedetomidine, given during general anesthesia, helps keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable during outpatient surgery. It may be an option if you are having a minor surgery and are not on certain heart medications.
