Comfort check: remimazolam vs midazolam for scope sedation

NCT ID NCT07600073

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study observes 126 outpatients getting an endoscopic ultrasound to see which of two common sedatives—remimazolam or midazolam—provides a better experience. Both are already used in routine care, and the choice is up to the doctor. Patients will report their comfort and recovery at 1 and 24 hours after the procedure. The goal is to find which sedation approach leads to less discomfort and faster recovery.

What this could lead to
