Nasal spray for blood pressure during cataract surgery in older adults
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nasal spray of dexmedetomidine can help control blood pressure in older adults with high blood pressure who are having cataract surgery. It may keep your blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with stage 2 high blood pressure (systolic over 140 or diastolic over 90).
- You are scheduled for cataract surgery with numbing medicine only (not general anesthesia).
- You are in good enough health for surgery (classified as ASA II or III).
- You do not have a slow heart rate (below 50 beats per minute) or heart rhythm problems.
- You are not currently taking medicine for anxiety or sedation.
- You have no severe liver, kidney, or brain blood vessel disease.

This study looks at how well sedation (medication to help you relax) works during cataract surgery when only numbing drops are used on the eye. It may help patients who are anxious or uncomfortable during the procedure.
This study tests two sedation medicines (dexmedetomidine and propofol) used to keep patients calm and comfortable during cataract surgery. Researchers want to see which combination works best and is safest for this common procedure.
This study looks at how general anesthesia affects blood pressure and eye pressure in older adults having cataract surgery. It helps doctors understand if the anesthesia is safe and works well for people in this age group.
This trial compares two medications, labetalol and dexmedetomidine, given as infusions to lower blood pressure during ear, nose, and throat surgeries. The goal is to find which drug works better and safer for patients.
This trial tests if a medicine called dexmedetomidine can help prevent agitation after nose surgery. You may be eligible if you are a healthy adult having planned nose surgery.
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.
