NCT ID NCT07524049
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study asks children aged 6-16, their parents, and clinicians to vote on the most important research topics in pediatric anesthesia and perioperative medicine. Over 1,000 participants in Switzerland will complete online surveys to create a ranked list of the top 10 priorities. The goal is to ensure future research focuses on what truly matters to patients and families.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could guide future research toward what matters most to children and families undergoing surgery or medical procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a priority-setting study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any drug or intervention, so it cannot lead to immediate medical advances.
