Nasal spray to help kids with colds during anesthesia
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nasal decongestant spray can help prevent breathing problems during anesthesia for children with a cold. If your child has a recent cold and is having surgery, this could help make the anesthesia safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 9 years old.

This study tests whether giving a medication called penehyclidine (given as a mist inhaled before surgery) can help prevent breathing problems in children aged 3–7 who are having eye surgery and are at risk for such problems. The medicine is compared to a placebo (a mist with no active drug).
This trial compares two safe, common ways to help children relax before surgery: a medicine sprayed in the nose versus a medicine given by mouth. The goal is to see which one works better and is easier for kids.
This study tests whether a nasal spray medication given after surgery can help prevent negative behavior changes (like anxiety or clinginess) that sometimes happen in children after anesthesia. Researchers will compare two different medications to see which works better.
This trial tests whether giving two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) through the nose can help children ages 3-7 have less pain after their tonsil or adenoid surgery. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain without using strong drugs.
This trial tests whether an isotonic saline (salt water) spray can safely relieve nasal congestion (stuffy or blocked nose) in babies and young children with colds, flu, allergies, or sinus inflammation. It aims to see if this simple, drug-free option helps symptoms like a blocked or runny nose.
This trial tests a nasal spray medicine called dexmedetomidine to help children relax before surgery and reduce agitation after waking up. It also monitors brain activity during anesthesia to ensure safety and effectiveness.
