Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to the standard anesthetic desflurane helps patients undergoing laparoscopic colon surgery. Researchers want to see if the combination reduces the amount of desflurane needed, keeps heart rate and blood pressure more stable during surgery, and improves recovery afterward. Forty adults aged 18 to 65 will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug combo or desflurane alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Dexmedetomidine
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a safer, more stable anesthesia method for colon surgery, with less drug needed and faster recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination could also cause side effects like low blood pressure or slow heart rate.
