EEG monitoring during surgery to reduce delirium in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks whether using an EEG machine (small sensors that record brain electrical activity) during elective surgery can help prevent or lessen emergence delirium—confusion and agitation right after waking up. It focuses on children under 16 and compares their experience around the time they come out of anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- A parent or legal guardian can provide informed consent.
- Your child does not have a past history of neurological or psychiatric disease.
- Your child does not have delayed development.
- You and/or the parent/guardian can read or speak Chinese.
- Neither your child nor you are participating in another interventional study at the same time.

This study checks brain-wave signals during heart surgery (using EEG monitoring) to understand who is at risk for confusion after surgery. If you qualify, your team will track your thinking after the operation to help reduce or better manage postoperative delirium.
This study looks at interventions to help with “postoperative delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen after surgery, and uses brain measures like EEG and optional MRI. It may help doctors identify who is at risk and learn what approaches are most helpful after surgery.
This trial is testing whether a routine EEG (brain wave test) can help spot delirium early in older adults admitted to the ICU or oncology unit. Delirium causes sudden confusion, and finding it faster could lead to better care.
This study tests whether using special brain-monitoring devices during anesthesia can help reduce confusion and agitation that sometimes happens after surgery in children ages 1–6. The goal is to improve recovery by helping doctors manage anesthesia more precisely.
This study looks at how the brain’s electrical activity (measured with a painless EEG sensor) changes in children during planned surgery using common anesthesia medicines. It may help doctors better understand brain effects of anesthesia in healthy children having non–head or non–heart surgery.
This study tests whether training anesthesia providers to use EEG (brain-wave monitoring) helps them give better anesthesia. Part A trains doctors and nurse anesthetists; Part B watches how this training affects patient outcomes during surgery.
