This study tests two different medications (dexmedetomidine and lidocaine) to see which one better prevents agitation when waking up after sinus surgery. If you're having elective sinus surgery and are in generally good health, you may be able to join.
This study compares two types of anesthesia used during nasal surgery to see if one causes less confusion or restlessness when waking up. If you are having nasal surgery with general anesthesia, this trial may help find a gentler way to recover from anesthesia.
This trial tests if a drug called remifentanil can help prevent confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia after rhinoplasty (nose surgery). It may help you wake up more calmly.
This study compares a low dose versus a standard dose of the sedative remimazolam to prevent confusion or agitation after waking up from nasal surgery. It aims to find a safer, more comfortable recovery for patients.
This trial compares two medicines used around the time of surgery—pregabalin given by mouth before surgery versus fentanyl given during surgery—to see which better controls pain after the operation. You might join if you’re a generally healthy surgical patient and aren’t using certain related medicines.
