NCT ID NCT05057689
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study planned to compare three different medications given as nose sprays to children aged 2 to 6 years who needed stitches for a cut. The goal was to see which one worked best for pain and anxiety during the procedure. However, the trial was withdrawn before any children were enrolled, so no results are available.
What this could mean

Active substance
Intranasal dexmedetomidine, intranasal fentanyl, intranasal midazolam
What this could lead to
If it had succeeded, this could have pointed toward a better way to manage pain and anxiety in young children during minor emergency procedures.
What could go wrong
The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. It was also a small Phase 2 study, meaning even if completed, findings would need further confirmation.
