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.
This trial tests how anesthesia affects brain activity in people with drug-resistant epilepsy who need brain electrode monitoring. It may help us understand consciousness and improve anesthesia safety.
This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
This study tests whether a drug called dexmedetomidine (a sedative) can help calm patients with severe brain injury who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. If you or your loved one is in this situation, this treatment might reduce agitation and improve recovery.
This study tests whether a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) and a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help prevent confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery in older adults.
This study looks at combining two treatments—a sedative drug and a mild brain stimulation technique—to see if they can help reduce confusion or memory problems that can happen after surgery in older people. It might help you if you have mild cognitive issues before your surgery.
