Local Anesthesia and Recovery in Children's Dental Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving pain medicine before waking up from dental anesthesia helps children recover more calmly and with less distress. Researchers will compare children who receive this preventive approach with others to see if it improves how kids feel when they wake up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at brain-wave activity (measured with sensors) in young children during and after general anesthesia for planned eye surgery. It may help doctors understand why some children become very upset or confused as they wake up.
This study looks at how young children's behavior changes after getting dental treatment while asleep. It helps doctors understand and improve care for kids undergoing dental procedures under anesthesia.
This study tests whether changing how your child breathes during dental surgery (the ratio of breathing in vs. out) affects how well they recover from anesthesia. The goal is to find a breathing pattern that helps children wake up more smoothly and safely.
This study compares a computer-controlled anesthesia device to traditional injections for children getting fillings. The goal is to see which method causes less pain and anxiety.
This study tests different ways to manage pain in young children after dental surgery done under general anesthesia. It aims to find the best method to keep children comfortable and reduce discomfort.
This study tests whether aromatherapy (calming scents) and digital anesthesia (numbing technology) can help reduce anxiety and pain when children need a baby molar removed. The goal is to find gentler ways to keep children comfortable during dental procedures.
