NCT ID NCT07565116
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a nasal spray (dexmedetomidine) works better than a liquid medicine (midazolam) to help children aged 2-10 relax before surgery. The goal is to reduce anxiety and make the anesthesia process smoother. 84 children will take part, and researchers will measure how calm they are and how well they separate from their parents.
