This study compares two medications (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) mixed with a numbing agent to see which works better for blocking pain during above-knee amputation surgery in patients with serious heart or lung disease. Both drugs are already used in anesthesia, and this trial tests which combination is safest and most effective for you.
This trial tests if dexmedetomidine or methylprednisolone is better at reducing inflammation during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to find a treatment that helps patients recover better.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain during and after lower back surgery: one uses an ultrasound-guided nerve block, the other uses a medication called dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see which provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
This trial tests two inhaled medicines given before surgery to see which one works better for pain after nasal surgery. One medicine is ketamine and the other is dexmedetomidine, both given as a mist through a nebulizer.
This trial compares two common steroids, methylprednisolone and dexamethasone, to see which works better for reducing pain, nausea, and the effects of muscle relaxant reversal drugs in adults having nose surgery.
This trial tests whether adding fentanyl or dexmedetomidine to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) provides better pain relief after knee surgery. It may help find the best option for patients undergoing knee procedures like total knee replacement or ACL repair.
