Comparing two sedatives for colonoscopy with polyp removal
This trial compares two sedative medications, remimazolam and propofol, to see which works better and is safer for people having a colonoscopy to remove polyps. It could help choose a sedation option with fewer side effects.
ZagrebAges 18–60 - NCT07561970Recruiting
Comparing two anesthesia drugs during heart rhythm procedures
This study compares two commonly used anesthesia medications (propofol and sevoflurane) in patients having a procedure to treat irregular heartbeats. Researchers want to see which drug works better and is safer for keeping you asleep during the procedure.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07569016Recruiting
Monitoring Brain Activity During Heart Rhythm Treatment
This trial compares two ways of giving sedation (sleepy medicine) during a procedure to restore normal heart rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation. One method uses a special brain monitor to guide sedation doses, while the other uses standard clinical judgment. The goal is to see if the brain monitor helps keep you safer and more comfortable.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07611240Recruiting
Comparing two anesthesia types for spine surgery in overweight patients
This study compares two common anesthesia medicines—sevoflurane (inhaled gas) and propofol (IV liquid)—to see which works better for people with obesity having lower-back spine surgery. The goal is to understand which anesthetic is safer and more effective for this group.
ErzurumAges 18–65 - NCT07198711Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Dream induction during sleep with anesthesia and brain monitoring
This study tests whether we can safely and reliably induce dreaming in healthy adults using anesthesia and brain wave (EEG) monitoring. You would be given a low dose of an anesthetic and then monitored as you fall asleep to see if dreams can be triggered.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT07758803RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing sedatives for nausea after gallbladder surgery
This study compares two different sedative medications used during anesthesia to see which one helps prevent nausea and vomiting after gallbladder removal surgery. Participating may help you recover more comfortably after your procedure.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07705022Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Brain activity study during light sedation
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see if people who are lightly sedated can still think or respond. Researchers want to understand 'covert consciousness' during sedation with two common medicines, dexmedetomidine and ketamine.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–40 - NCT04435834RecruitingPhase 4
MRI with anesthesia to study brain oxygen changes
This trial studies how a baby’s brain uses oxygen during an MRI, using specific anesthesia medicines. It may help researchers better understand how anesthesia affects brain oxygen measurements in very young children.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 1 year - NCT06497855Recruiting
Propofol dose and memory during anesthesia
This study looks at how the amount of propofol (a sleep medicine) used during anesthesia affects your ability to form memories without being aware of it. It may help doctors understand how to better manage memory during surgery.
Treviso, TVAges 18–90 - NCT04934683Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Medication study during major surgery to protect blood pressure
This trial tests how well an “induction agent” medication works during major surgery to help keep blood pressure stable. It may help prevent complications in people at higher risk, especially those staying overnight in the hospital.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 45 years+ - NCT05272202RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study brain signals after median nerve stimulation during anesthesia
This early-stage study checks how brain activity changes when the median nerve is gently stimulated while you’re under general anesthesia with propofol. It may help researchers better understand brain–nerve connections and improve how these signals are measured.
BrusselsAges 18–81 - NCT04307238Recruiting
Anesthesia types and eye response after planned ENT surgery
This study compares different types of general anesthesia by checking how your pupils (the black part of the eye) respond after surgery. It may help doctors understand which anesthesia options are better for eye-related side effects after planned ear, nose, or throat operations.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–99 - NCT03569839Recruiting
Testing automatic control of anesthesia depth during surgery
This trial studies a monitoring and computer-based system that may automatically adjust anesthesia “depth” so patients stay at the right level during surgery or ICU sedation. It may help reduce swings in anesthesia and improve safety during procedures like eye, brain, or intensive care sedation.
Ljubljana, LjubljanaAges 20–70 - NCT06275087Recruiting
Recovery speed after anesthesia for mouth surgery
This trial compares how quickly people recover from anesthesia after mouth surgery. It may help if you are having a soft-tissue procedure inside your mouth that takes 30 minutes to 2 hours.
ZagrebAges 18 years+ - NCT07538115Recruiting
Better Heart Monitoring During Sedation for Digestive Procedures
This study compares two ways of monitoring your heart and vital signs during a sedated procedure to examine your digestive tract (ERCP). Researchers want to see if more detailed monitoring helps keep you safer during the procedure.
ÇorumAges 18 years+ - NCT07001267Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for stroke procedure recovery
This trial tests whether a sedative given through an IV or a gas you breathe affects recovery after surgery to remove a blood clot in the brain. It may help find the best way to keep you comfortable during the procedure to improve how well you do after three months.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07596589RecruitingPhase 3
Remimazolam sedation for breathing-machine patients in ICU
This study tests whether a sedative medication called remimazolam helps patients on breathing machines (ventilators) in the ICU recover better and have fewer complications. You would receive this medication to keep you calm and comfortable while on the ventilator.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07268872Enrolling by invitation
How anesthesia drugs affect immune function in healthy adults
This trial studies how different anesthesia drugs affect the immune system in healthy young adults. It may help doctors choose safer anesthetics for future patients.

Knee manipulation: best numbing method for less pain
This study tests different numbing techniques to see which works best for pain during a knee manipulation procedure. It may help you have less pain and a smoother recovery.

Can remimazolam protect heart health during surgery?
This study tests whether a sedative called remimazolam can help protect the heart during surgery in older adults. If you are 65 or older and having a longer surgery with general anesthesia, this trial may be for you.
Jiaxing, ZhejiangAges 65 years+ - NCT07571473Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for propofol?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 120 recruiting propofol studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a propofol trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a propofol trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
