Study brain signals after median nerve stimulation during anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are right-handed
- You are scheduled for surgery that uses propofol as the main IV anesthesia
- You cannot be allergic to propofol, soy, or peanuts
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be between 20 and 30
- You must be able to have an EEG helmet placed and allow the EEG (brain recording) to be collected

This trial studies how stimulating a nerve in the wrist affects brain activity and sedation levels during propofol anesthesia. It may help improve care for right-handed patients having surgery.
This study looks at how your brain waves change during general anesthesia. It might help doctors understand the best way to keep you safely asleep during surgery.
This study looks at how anesthesia changes brain activity using EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording). Researchers want to see if these changes relate to how conscious you are during surgery. This could help doctors provide safer anesthesia care.
This trial tests a special nerve stimulation technique (100 Hz tetanic stimulation) to see if it can help monitor muscle function during anesthesia. It might help doctors make sure patients are properly relaxed during surgery.
This study tests whether using brain wave monitoring during anesthesia can improve care for older patients having surgery. It also trains anesthesia providers on how to use this monitoring.
This trial tests whether stimulating a nerve in the wrist (median nerve) can help improve thinking and memory problems in people who have had a recent traumatic brain injury. It is for adults with moderate injuries who have trouble with memory and thinking.
