Comparing anesthetics and brain connectivity on MRI
Treatments studied
This study tests how different anesthesia medicines affect how brain areas communicate with each other, measured during an MRI scan. It may help researchers understand how anesthesia can change brain networks in both healthy people and people with brain tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old and male
- You’re either a healthy volunteer or someone being treated for a brain tumor
- You can read and sign an informed consent form
- You do not have medical problems affecting the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, or other major body systems
- You must be able to have an MRI without issues like strong fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia)

This trial uses EEG (a painless head sensor test) to study brain activity during anesthesia or sedation in both children and adults. The goal is to better understand how the brain responds to these medicines, which may help improve future care.
This study looks at how different anesthetics change brain connections during surgery for a type of brain tumor called glioma. It may help doctors choose the best anesthesia for your surgery.
This study looks at how the brain network connects during propofol sedation in people with long-lasting disorders of consciousness. It may help doctors understand brain function in these conditions and improve how care is guided during procedures.
This study looks at how anesthesia affects brain networks in people with prolonged disorders of consciousness. It uses a spinal stimulator and sleep recordings (PSG) to understand brain activity better and may help improve treatment.
This study is looking at how three different sedative medicines (midazolam, dexmedetomidine, and esketamine) affect brain activity during gallbladder surgery. It aims to find the safest and most precise way to keep you asleep and comfortable.
This study uses MRI scans to see how two common sedatives, ketamine and propofol, affect brain activity. It may help explain how these drugs work differently in the brain.
