This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or magnesium sulfate to lidocaine makes numbing the eye more effective for tear-duct surgery. The goal is to find which combination provides better pain control during surgery.
This trial tests if a medicine called dexmedetomidine can help prevent agitation after nose surgery. You may be eligible if you are a healthy adult having planned nose surgery.
This trial tests adding dexmedetomidine (a calming medication) to bupivacaine (numbing medication) injected into the spine during knee surgery. The goal is to improve pain relief and recovery after surgery.
This study tests whether a medication given through the nose (dexmedetomidine) can help children stay calmer when waking up from eye-muscle surgery. Some children get very agitated or upset when coming out of anesthesia, and this medication might help prevent that.
This trial tests adding a sedative medicine called dexmedetomidine to standard anesthesia for children aged 3 to 12 who are having a procedure to close a hole in their heart (atrial septal defect). The goal is to see if it helps them recover more smoothly.
This trial tests whether giving a single dose of dexmedetomidine (a medicine that helps calm the body's stress response) before surgery can reduce the stress on your heart and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed. It may help you recover more smoothly.
