NCT ID NCT07113483

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests two sedative drugs, remimazolam and midazolam, in adults aged 65 and older having orthopedic surgery with regional anesthesia. The goal is to see which drug provides better sedation during surgery and causes fewer problems with thinking and memory shortly after. 120 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two drugs, and neither they nor their doctors will know which one they received. The results will help doctors choose the safest sedative for older patients.
