Medication comparison for aneurysm coiling procedure
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two medications given during anesthesia for a procedure to treat a brain aneurysm. The goal is to find which one keeps your heart rate and blood pressure more stable during the breathing tube placement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) brain aneurysm coiling procedure
- You are in good enough health to have anesthesia (ASA class I-III)
- You do not have serious heart rhythm problems or unstable blood pressure before the procedure
- You are not allergic to remifentanil or esmolol
- You have not been taking opioid pain medications regularly
- You do not have eye problems that would interfere with the study measurements

This trial compares two types of general anesthesia to see which one keeps your blood pressure and heart rate more stable during surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm. The goal is to find a safer anesthesia option for this procedure.
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications helps keep blood pressure steady and reduces bleeding during ear, nose, or throat surgery. It is comparing giving just one pain medication versus the pain medication plus a blood pressure-lowering drug.
This study compares two medicines used during nasal surgery to keep blood pressure stable and reduce bleeding. One is a short-acting painkiller (remifentanil), and the other is a blood pressure-lowering drug (nicardipine). If you are having planned nasal surgery eliminated for participation, you might be eligible.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This study tests different medications used to place a breathing tube during spine surgery. The goal is to find a way that keeps the muscles working well enough for the doctor to monitor your spinal cord during surgery.
This trial compares two sedative medicines (remimazolam and propofol) given during heart ablation procedures. The study uses brain-wave monitoring to see which medicine provides better sedation and recovery. It's for people who are already scheduled for this procedure with a specific doctor.
