Dexmedetomidine vs Labetalol for Airway Stress in Brain Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with high blood pressure.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) brain surgery under general anesthesia.
- You are otherwise healthy enough for surgery (ASA level II).
- You are able and willing to give informed consent.

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 study tests two medicines given before surgery to see which one better controls blood pressure and heart rate during the start of anesthesia. It may help people with high blood pressure have a safer and smoother experience when they are put to sleep for surgery.
This trial compares two medications given during brain surgery to help control pressure around the optic nerve. The goal is to see which medication is better at protecting the eyes during the procedure.
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 compares two medicines, ketamine and dexmedetomidine, added to a scalp nerve block during brain tumor removal surgery. The goal is to see which provides better pain control and recovery after surgery.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine or lignocaine better prevents dangerous heart-rate and blood-pressure changes when a breathing tube is placed during heart surgery. If you're having cardiac surgery and are at high risk for heart complications, this study may help protect your heart during the procedure.
