First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested a drug called dexmedetomidine (DMT) against morphine for sedation and pain relief in 50 newborn babies with brain injury who were undergoing cooling therapy. The goal was to see if DMT is safer and works as well as morphine, which can have long-term side effects. Researchers also measured drug levels in the blood to find the best dose for future larger studies.
