Nasal Medication to Reduce Agitation After Eye Surgery in Young Children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
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 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 compares two safe, common ways to help children relax before surgery: a medicine sprayed in the nose versus a medicine given by mouth. The goal is to see which one works better and is easier 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.
