Comparing two medicines to protect eyes during brain surgery
Treatments studied
This trial compares two medications given during brain surgery to help control pressure around the optic nerve. The goal is to see which medication is better at protecting the eyes during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and labetalol) to see which one better controls stress on the airway during brain surgery in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find a safer way to manage your heart rate and blood pressure while you are under anesthesia.
This trial tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or magnesium sulfate to lidocaine makes numbing the eye more effective for tear-duct surgery. The goal is to find which combination provides better pain control during surgery.
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 study tests two medicines given before surgery to see which one better controls blood pressure and heart rate during the start of anesthesia. It may help people with high blood pressure have a safer and smoother experience when they are put to sleep for surgery.
This study looks at whether a specific anesthesia-related medicine (dexmedetomidine) affects eye pressure during planned spine operations done with the patient lying face-down under general anesthesia. It may help doctors choose safer anesthesia to reduce risks related to eye pressure changes.
This study tests two different medicines, magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine, to see which one better maintains oxygen levels in the brain during surgery. This may help reduce the risk of brain-related complications after surgery.
