Dexmedetomidine for thinking and memory after robotic urinary surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a sedative medicine called dexmedetomidine can help protect thinking and memory after robotic urinary surgery in older adults. It aims to see if it helps keep the mind sharp during recovery.

This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
This trial looks at whether a medication called dexmedetomidine can reduce “postoperative delirium,” a temporary period of confusion after awake brain surgery. If you have the type of surgery the study focuses on, this could help your recovery and mental clarity afterward.
This trial studies whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine during cancer surgery can improve long-term survival. It is for older adults having major cancer surgery that lasts at least two hours and who will need a pain pump after the operation.
This study tests whether a medication called dexmedetomidine, given during or after hip fracture surgery, can help prevent confusion (delirium) that sometimes occurs in older patients after surgery. If you are 65 or older and having hip fracture surgery, this treatment might help you recover more clearly.
This study looks at combining two treatments—a sedative drug and a mild brain stimulation technique—to see if they can help reduce confusion or memory problems that can happen after surgery in older people. It might help you if you have mild cognitive issues before your surgery.
This study tests whether a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) and a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help prevent confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery in older adults.
