Brain activity during propofol anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- You are generally healthy with no chronic medical conditions or long-term medications.
- You are not pregnant, don't smoke, and don't use drugs or alcohol heavily.
- You have no metal in your body (like implants, pacemakers, or non-removable piercings) that would interfere with an MRI.
- You are not claustrophobic and can speak German fluently.

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 compares how three different anesthesia medications affect your brain's neural networks (the connections that help your brain function) during routine surgery. Researchers want to understand which anesthetic might be safest for protecting brain function.
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.
This study wants to see if we can predict the right amount of propofol (a sleep medicine) needed for deep anesthesia during surgery. It may help doctors give just the right dose for each person.
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 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.
