Sedation use during cataract surgery with numbing drops
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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 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 tests a new sedative medication, MELT-300, to help you relax during cataract surgery. It's for people having surgery on one eye and aims to see if it works better than standard care.
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 tests whether listening to special binaural sounds (through earphones) during cataract surgery helps older patients stay calm and comfortable. The surgery uses light sedation, and researchers want to see if the sounds improve the experience.
This study tests a special breathing and pain education program to help you stay calm and comfortable during cataract surgery while you are awake. It may reduce pain and anxiety without extra medicine.
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.
