MRI with anesthesia to study brain oxygen changes
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a clinically needed MRI at the study site.
- The baby can safely have an MRI and can be kept still/monitored.
- The MRI requires anesthesia, and the team expects to use propofol and/or sevoflurane.
- The baby must be full-term up to 1 year old (not born extremely early).
- No implanted or attached metal/electronic device that makes MRI unsafe.
- No major anesthesia safety risks (such as certain heart rhythm problems, specific genetic muscle conditions, or propofol safety red flags).

This study uses MRI to measure oxygen in the brains of children (birth to 7 years) who need anesthesia for a routine scan. It aims to learn more about brain blood flow in different conditions.
This early study (Phase 1) tests whether an oral medicine called dexmedetomidine can help children feel calmer and be safely sedated for a brain MRI. It may help make MRI scans easier for young children who need general anesthesia.
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.
This study looks at how the anesthetic propofol affects the brain. It uses MRI and EEG to monitor brain activity during anesthesia, helping researchers understand how consciousness is lost.
This study uses MRI scans to check how well the kidneys work in children who are already scheduled to receive anesthesia for an MRI. It aims to make sure the anesthesia is safe for the kidneys.
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.
