Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two sedation medications (remimazolam and dexmedetomidine) used to keep pregnant patients comfortable and calm during cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia. The goal is to find which medication works better and is safest for both mother and baby.

This study tests whether adding one of two medications (dexmedetomidine or clonidine) to spinal anesthesia during cesarean delivery can improve pain control and comfort during and after surgery. These medications may help reduce the need for additional pain relief during the procedure.
This study compares a standard spinal anesthetic (bupivacaine) with or without an added drug (dexmedetomidine) to see which works better for pain relief during planned cesarean delivery. It may help find a safer or more effective option for mothers.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine, a calming medicine, can reduce unwanted shaking (shivering) during a planned C-section done with spinal anesthesia. It may help make the surgery and recovery more comfortable.
This trial studies whether a specific numbing/comfort medicine (dexmedetomidine) injected into the wound area during a C-section can improve recovery or reduce symptoms after surgery. You may be able to take part if you are a low-risk pregnancy and meet safety requirements.
This study tests two medications, dexmedetomidine and ketamine, to see which one works better for pain after a planned C-section. If you're having a scheduled C-section and are generally healthy, this trial could help find better pain relief options.
This trial tests a sedative called remimazolam besylate in patients who need a breathing tube and light sedation after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe.
