Preventing agitation after sinus surgery with sedation or numbing medicine
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests two different medications (dexmedetomidine and lidocaine) to see which one better prevents agitation when waking up after sinus surgery. If you're having elective sinus surgery and are in generally good health, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 60 years old.

This study tests whether a medication given through the nose (dexmedetomidine) can help children stay calmer when waking up from eye-muscle surgery. Some children get very agitated or upset when coming out of anesthesia, and this medication might help prevent that.
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.
This study tests whether giving two medicines, propofol and dexmedetomidine, during rhinoplasty can help prevent confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia. It may be a good option if you are having nose surgery and are generally healthy.
This study compares two medications given during surgery recovery to help young children wake up calmly and without distress. The goal is to find the gentlest way to help kids feel comfortable as they wake from anesthesia.
This trial tests a nasal spray medicine called dexmedetomidine to help children relax before surgery and reduce agitation after waking up. It also monitors brain activity during anesthesia to ensure safety and effectiveness.
This trial tests two inhaled medicines, dexmedetomidine and magnesium sulfate, to see which is better at preventing agitation and restlessness as patients wake up from functional endoscopic sinus surgery. It may help you recover more calmly.
