Predicting behavior in kids during sedation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at children aged 1 to 17 who get sedation or anxiety medicine for a procedure in the emergency department or dental clinic. Researchers want to understand what predicts how children behave during and after sedation.

This study looks at how children act after having dental treatment under general anesthesia (being put to sleep). It aims to find ways to reduce negative changes in behavior after surgery.
This study compares two ways of keeping children comfortable and safe during dental treatment: sedation or a protective positioning approach. It may help find which method works better for comfort and safety for children who need fillings or other cavity repair.
This study tests whether giving a calming medicine before general anesthesia improves how children feel and experience anesthesia afterward. The goal is to see which pre-surgery approach works best and is comfortable for kids.
This study tests a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) given as a nasal spray to help children relax before surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that works well with the least side effects.
This trial compares two ways to help children relax and manage pain during orthopedic procedures: a nasal spray (dexmedetomidine) versus a liquid taken by mouth (chloral hydrate). The study aims to see which one works better and is safer for kids.
This trial looks at whether a monitoring method for how deeply a child is sedated matches how the child’s reflexes react during intravenous anesthesia. It may help anesthesiologists keep children safer and more comfortable during direct laryngoscopy procedures using medications like dexmedetomidine and remifentanil.
