Pain relief before dental anesthesia in children
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving numbing medicine before dental anesthesia reduces the amount of anesthesia gas needed for children. This may help children recover faster and have fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 12 years old.
- Your child is scheduled for a dental procedure under general anesthesia that does not require an overnight stay.
- Your child is in good overall health (classified as ASA I or II).
- Your child will breathe anesthesia gas through a tube placed in the windpipe.
- Your child has no allergies to the anesthesia gas or numbing medicines used.
- You (parent or guardian) agree to allow your child to participate.
- Your child is not taking strong pain medicines regularly or sedatives.
- Your child does not have certain serious heart, lung, liver, kidney, or nerve conditions.

This study tests whether giving a numbing medicine (local anesthetic) before waking up from dental anesthesia helps children wake up calmer and with less pain after their dental procedure. It may improve your child's recovery experience after dental surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia gas (sevoflurane/dexmedetomidine vs. isoflurane) to see which helps prevent agitation or confusion when children wake up after surgery. It is for children ages 2–7 having certain ear, nose, throat, eye, or urology procedures with an IV and breathing tube.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children under 10 during surgery, with a focus on how the child wakes up and breathes when the breathing tube is removed. It may help doctors choose safer, smoother anesthesia for pediatric surgeries.
This study looks at brain activity (EEG) in children while they are under sevoflurane anesthesia. It may help doctors better understand how anesthesia affects the brain in young children.
This study looks at whether dexmedetomidine changes the minimum amount of sevoflurane (an inhaled anesthesia medicine) needed during surgery in young children. It may help doctors choose safer, more accurate anesthesia dosing for kids undergoing surgery.
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.
