Nasal sprays may tame Post-Surgery behavior problems in children
NCT ID NCT07570160
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving children a nasal spray of dexmedetomidine or esketamine before anesthesia can reduce negative behavior changes—like anxiety, sleep problems, or irritability—after day surgery. About 342 children aged 2 to 12 will be randomly assigned to receive one of these drugs or a placebo. Researchers will also monitor brain waves during surgery to see if they relate to later behavior.
