Comparing anesthesia types to reduce opioids in hysterectomy
This study compares general anesthesia alone to two types of combined anesthesia (general plus spinal) to see which reduces the amount of opioid painkillers needed during and after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medications.
Bellinzona, SwitzerlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04708171Recruiting
Compare awake, asleep, or no mapping during brain tumor surgery
This study looks at whether surgeons get better safety and control during glioblastoma removal by using awake testing, asleep testing, or no mapping. Mapping helps identify brain areas involved in movement, speech, or vision to lower the risk of serious side effects.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06273176Recruiting
Surgery with or without brain mapping for recurrent glioblastoma
This study is testing whether using a special brain-mapping technique during surgery helps people with recurrent glioblastoma. It compares standard surgery to surgery with mapping to see if it leads to better outcomes for tumors near important brain areas.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges Up to 90 years - NCT06343259Recruiting
Comparing anesthesia types for hip surgery in older adults
This study compares general anesthesia (you are completely asleep) versus spinal anesthesia (you are awake but numb from the waist down) during hip surgery to see which one is better at preventing heart muscle damage. It is for people 65 and older who are at moderate to high risk for heart problems.
IstanbulAges 65 years+ - NCT06425627Recruiting
Spinal vs general anesthesia for hip fracture surgery in older adults
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications after surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 65 years+ - NCT06753409Recruiting
Brain monitoring during anesthesia for major abdominal surgery
This study tests whether using a special brain wave monitor during anesthesia can improve recovery for people having major abdominal surgery lasting more than two hours.
AsyutAges 18–70 - NCT06755853Recruiting
Evaluating throat and mouth symptoms after general anesthesia
This study aims to create a scale to measure symptoms like sore throat, hoarseness, or difficulty swallowing after general anesthesia. It may help future patients get better care for these common side effects.
Kayseri, TürkiyeAges 18–65 - NCT06857344Recruiting
Smart anesthesia system for painless endoscopy
This trial tests a computer system that controls anesthesia during routine painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. The system learns from past procedures to keep you safely asleep while the doctor examines your digestive tract.
Anxi, FujianAges 18–65 - NCT06953193Recruiting
Comparing anesthesia types for pancreas surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia for people having pancreatoduodenectomy surgery. It tests whether adding an epidural to general anesthesia can help prevent low blood pressure during the operation.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07064434Recruiting
Nerve block for safer blood pressure control during hip replacement
This trial tests a type of nerve block (sacral canal block) to help manage blood pressure during hip replacement surgery. It aims to see if it can safely lower blood pressure on purpose, which may reduce bleeding and improve recovery.
Yinchuan, NingxiaAges 45 years+ - NCT07522957Recruiting
Comparing Two Airway Devices for Children During Surgery
This study compares two soft plastic airway devices (I-Gel and Air-Q) used to help children breathe safely during surgery. The trial will determine which device works better and is safer for children aged 1–10 years.
Ankara, EtlikAges 1–10 - NCT07643415Recruiting
Spinal vs. General Anesthesia for Prostate Surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (numbing the lower body) versus general (putting you to sleep)—for men having prostate surgery to treat benign enlargement. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for this procedure.
