Different doses of dexmedetomidine to prevent shivering after spinal anesthesia for ureter stone surgery
This study tests three different doses of a medicine called dexmedetomidine, which is given through a spinal injection to prevent shivering during surgery for removing a ureter stone. Shivering after spinal anesthesia is common and uncomfortable, and the hope is that this medicine can safely reduce it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests adding dexmedetomidine (a calming medication) to bupivacaine (numbing medication) injected into the spine during knee surgery. The goal is to improve pain relief and recovery after surgery.
This trial tests whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine to a numbing injection around shoulder nerves can improve pain control after laparoscopic shoulder surgery. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the numbing medication alone.
This study tests a way to reduce shivering after surgery done with spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down). Shivering can be uncomfortable and increase recovery time, and the trial aims to see if a specific medication helps prevent it.
This study tests two medications given through an IV (dexmedetomidine and midazolam) to see which one better prevents shivering during and after leg surgery done under spinal anesthesia. If you're having this type of surgery, participating might help you feel more comfortable and avoid the stress of shivering.
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called dexamethasone to the spinal anesthetic reduces shivering after a cesarean section. It may help you feel more comfortable and recover more smoothly after surgery.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to a nerve block (an injection near the spine) can improve pain relief after kidney stone surgery. It is for people who are generally healthy and scheduled for a kidney stone procedure.
