Sedation versus general anesthesia for strabismus surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to keep you comfortable during strabismus (eye alignment) surgery: one uses sedation with numbing medicine around the eye, and the other uses general anesthesia (you are fully asleep). The goal is to see which method works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have strabismus (eyes that don't line up) in a horizontal or diagonal direction.
- You have not had previous surgery on the eye muscles, retinal detachment surgery, or glaucoma filtering surgery.
- You do not have other eye conditions or neurological problems.
- You do not have intellectual disability, deafness, or dementia.

This trial tests a combination of two pain medicines during strabismus (eye muscle) surgery. It aims to see if these medicines help reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery.
This study tests two types of anesthesia for children having eye muscle (strabismus) surgery to see which one is better at preventing vomiting after the operation. Vomiting after surgery is common and can make recovery harder, so finding a better method could help your child feel better sooner.
This study compares different numbing medicines (additives) mixed with lidocaine to see which works best for pain relief during eye surgery. All patients will receive a numbing injection around the eye (peribulbar block) to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
This study looks at how strabismus (misaligned eyes) affects balance before and after surgery. It may help patients understand if their eye condition influences their stability.
This study looks at the results of different treatments for strabismus (eye misalignment), including observation, non-surgical treatments, and surgery. It aims to understand what works best for different types of strabismus.
This study compares different types of general anesthesia by checking how your pupils (the black part of the eye) respond after surgery. It may help doctors understand which anesthesia options are better for eye-related side effects after planned ear, nose, or throat operations.
