Melatonin vs a sedative before surgery in patients with high blood pressure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two medications given before surgery to see which one better keeps your heart rate and blood pressure stable when the breathing tube is placed. It is for people with controlled high blood pressure who are having planned surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with high blood pressure that is well-controlled with medication.
- You are considered a low-to-moderate risk for surgery (ASA II).
- You are scheduled for a non-emergency surgery that requires general anesthesia.
- You are not pregnant or nursing.

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.
This trial compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and labetalol) to see which one better controls stress on the airway during brain surgery in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find a safer way to manage your heart rate and blood pressure while you are under anesthesia.
This trial compares two medications, labetalol and dexmedetomidine, given as infusions to lower blood pressure during ear, nose, and throat surgeries. The goal is to find which drug works better and safer for patients.
This study tests whether giving children either oral melatonin or a nebulized sedative (dexmedetomidine) before surgery can reduce confusion and restlessness (emergence agitation) when they wake up from anesthesia. It may help children recover more calmly after adenotonsillectomy.
This study tests if dexmedetomidine can help prevent dangerous blood pressure spikes during breathing tube placement for surgery in patients with high blood pressure. It is for older adults (over 60) who have been managing their hypertension for at least 6 months.
This trial tests two medications—metoprolol (a heart-rate slowing drug) and sufentanil (a pain reliever)—given together to prevent dangerous changes in heart rate and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed during surgery. You would receive these as part of your normal anesthesia.
