Comparing two sedatives for sleep endoscopy in sleep apnea
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two sedative medications used during a procedure called drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), which helps doctors see how your airway collapses during sleep. The goal is to find which medication works better and is safer for patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You are scheduled for a drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) to evaluate obstructive sleep apnea.

- You are not allergic to the study medications (remimazolam or dexmedetomidine).
- You do not have a history of central nervous system or psychiatric diseases.

This study compares two types of sedation for endoscopic procedures like ERCP, gastroscopy, or colonoscopy. One uses opioids, the other does not, to see which is safer and more comfortable.
This trial tests a sedative called remimazolam besylate in patients who need a breathing tube and light sedation after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe.
This trial compares two sedative medications, Remimazolam and Propofol, to see which works better for upper GI endoscopy exams and treatments. The goal is to help doctors choose the best option for patients.
This trial tests whether remimazolam, a newer sedative, works as well as midazolam (a common sedative) for keeping patients comfortable during endoscopy procedures that examine the stomach and pancreas. The study aims to see which medication has fewer side effects.
This Phase 2 study compares two medicines used to help children sleep during a procedure called drug-induced sleep endoscopy. It’s for children with obstructive sleep apnea who are being evaluated before adenotonsillectomy, to help surgeons understand the cause of the blockage and potentially improve treatment planning.
This study compares two sedative medications (remimazolam and dexmedetomidine) given during a cesarean section to see which one works better for keeping you comfortable while awake during the procedure.
