ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Anesthetics and Analgesics in Children," is designed to study how anesthetic and pain relief medications work in children and adolescents. Researchers want to understand how these drugs are processed in the body and ensure they are safe for young patients. The trial is currently looking for participants aged from newborns to under 18 years old. Eligible participants must be receiving specific medications as part of their medical care and must have a parent or guardian who can provide consent.

If you or your child join the study, you can expect to work closely with the research team, who will guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have. The study aims to gather important information that can help improve the use of these medications in young patients. It's important to note that children who are pregnant or have certain serious medical conditions may not be eligible for this trial. Overall, this study could contribute valuable insights into the safe use of anesthesia and pain relief in children.
