Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests three different medicines to help young children relax before surgery to remove their tonsils and adenoids. It aims to find which medicine works best and is safest for kids ages 2 to 5.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) given as a nasal spray to help children relax before surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that works well with the least side effects.
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 study is testing two medications used during anesthesia (etomidate and esketamine) to see if they can reduce pain after tonsillectomy in children. If your child is having this surgery, the trial may offer better pain control during recovery.
This study compares two sedative drugs (esketamine and remimazolam) with propofol to see which is safest for breathing during a gastroscopy in children. The goal is to find a sedative that keeps your child comfortable while minimizing breathing risks.
This study compares two newer sedation drugs (remimazolam and ciprofol) to see which one better prevents breathing or airway problems during and after tonsil surgery in children.
This study tests whether giving children either oral melatonin or a nebulized sedative (dexmedetomidine) before surgery can reduce confusion and restlessness (emergence agitation) when they wake up from anesthesia. It may help children recover more calmly after adenotonsillectomy.
