Record status
This record was last updated January 7, 2026 (before its estimated May 15, 2026 completion). Its status may not reflect the trial's current state.
Summary
Cataract surgery is routinely performed with anesthesia care, whereas anesthesia care for other elective, low-risk, outpatient procedures is applied more selectively. We hypothesize that sublingual melatonin will provide superior anxiolysis and sedation while maintaining a high safety profile and minimizing hemodynamic disturbances.
