Nasal spray to ease pain during preemie eye exams
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
