Comparing nasal packing drugs for better sinus surgery view
Treatments studied
This trial is testing whether packing the nose with one of three medications (dexmedetomidine, midazolam, or bupivacaine) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) can improve the surgeon's view during the procedure. It may help patients by reducing bleeding and making the surgery smoother.

This trial tests if two different medicines, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine, given as a nerve block in your nose during rhinoplasty can better control pain after surgery.
This study tests two medicines, dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, given during sinus surgery to see which one better prevents confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia. If you're having sinus surgery, you might be able to join and help find a better way to recover calmly.
This trial tests two inhaled medicines, dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate, to see which is better at preventing agitation and restlessness as patients wake up from functional endoscopic sinus surgery. It may help you recover more calmly.
This trial tests two inhaled medicines given before surgery to see which one works better for pain after nasal surgery. One medicine is ketamine and the other is dexmedetomidine, both given as a mist through a nebulizer.
This trial tests if adding a second medicine, ketamine, to dexmedetomidine helps control blood pressure better during ear or nose surgery. It may lead to safer and smoother anesthesia for patients needing controlled low blood pressure.
This study tests two medicines, lidocaine and magnesium, given through an IV during sinus surgery to see which one better reduces the need for fentanyl, a strong painkiller. This could help manage pain more effectively during and after surgery.
