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.

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 medicines, dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, given during sinus surgery to see which one better prevents confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia. If you're having sinus surgery, you might be able to join and help find a better way to recover calmly.
This trial tests a medicine given as nose drops to help children relax before anesthesia and reduce confusion or agitation after surgery. It may make the anesthesia experience smoother for young children having minor surgeries.
This study compares two medicines to see which works better at preventing agitation and restlessness when children wake up from surgery with a common anesthetic. The goal is to help children recover more calmly and comfortably.
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.
