Clonidine for the treatment of supine hypertension and pressure natriuresis in autonomic failure. [2006.03]
Patients with autonomic failure are disabled by orthostatic hypotension, which can be worsened by the nighttime pressure natriuresis induced by associated supine hypertension... These results are consistent with residual sympathetic tone contributing to supine hypertension in autonomic failure, which can be targeted with clonidine to decrease BP and nocturnal natriuresis.
Opioid detoxification with buprenorphine, clonidine, or methadone in hospitalized heroin-dependent patients with HIV infection. [2003.04.01]

Clinical Trials Related to Catapres-TTS (Clonidine Transdermal)
Clonidine Versus Midazolam for Premedication [Completed]
alpha2-agonists like clonidine offer several useful effects that make these drugs an
interesting alternative to benzodiazepines for pharmacological premedication. We therefore
sought to determine the effect of pre-anesthetic medication with clonidine vs. midazolam in a
randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study. Effects of pre-anesthetic medication were
assessed on (1) bispectral index (BIS),(2) sedation score and visual analog scales for
anxiety and pain, (3) neuropsychologic tests to assess cognitive function and (4) circulating
stress hormones.
Clonidine as Adjunct Therapy for the Treatment of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome [Completed]
To test the hypothesis that the combination of the tincture of opium (DTO) and clonidine will
be more effective in treating infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (opioid withdrawal)
than tincture of opium (DTO) alone.
Clonidine Versus Adenosine to Treat Neuropathic Pain [Active, not recruiting]
Clonidine in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Children [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of clonidine alone or in
combination with methylphenidate for children 7-12 years of age with attention-deficit,
hyperactivity disorder.
Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of CLONICEL® to Treat Children and Adolescents With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) [Active, not recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CLONICEL® (clonidine HCl sustained release)
is a safe and effective treatment for children and adolescents with attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
