EEG study of dexmedetomidine pain relief in hip surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests how a pain-relieving medicine (dexmedetomidine) works during hip replacement surgery. It uses brain-wave monitoring (EEG) to see how the medicine affects pain, which could lead to better pain control after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 22 and 30.

This trial tests whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to your anesthesia during hip replacement surgery helps reduce stress on the body and improves your recovery. If you are having a hip replacement and are generally healthy, you may be able to participate.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called dexmedetomidine before surgery can reduce pain during and after the operation. It is for adults having non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia.
This trial studies whether giving dexmedetomidine (a sedative) through different routes can make spinal anesthesia last longer during hip or knee replacement surgery. It may help you stay comfortable after surgery with fewer additional pain medicines.
This trial tests a combination of two pain-relief methods after total knee replacement: a spinal injection and a nerve block in the thigh. It aims to provide better pain control during and after 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 trial tests adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to the numbing IV used during knee surgery. It aims to see if it provides better pain relief after surgery under spinal anesthesia.
