Anesthesia and brain development in children with congenital scoliosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how anesthesia (medicine used to put children to sleep during surgery) may affect the brain development of children with congenital scoliosis. It will help doctors understand how to make anesthesia safer for children with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a diagnosis of congenital scoliosis (a curved spine that is present at birth).
- Your child should be between 6 and 16 years old.
- Your child must not have any cognitive impairment (problems with thinking, learning, or memory).
- Your child must not have any mental or psychological disorders.
- Your child must not have a known central nervous system disease, past neurological injury, or a history of oxygen shortage at birth.
- Your child must be able to cooperate with thinking and memory tests and must be able to communicate in Chinese.

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 looks at how anesthesia affects brain networks in people with prolonged disorders of consciousness. It uses a spinal stimulator and sleep recordings (PSG) to understand brain activity better and may help improve treatment.
This study examines how general anesthesia and surgery might affect the development of white matter (the brain's communication cables) in children aged 12 to 15. It aims to see if surgical exposure leads to any changes in brain structure or behavior.
This study looks at how general anesthesia may affect “brain injury marker” levels during and after surgery for single-suture craniosynostosis in infants. It may help doctors better understand anesthesia timing and safety for babies having corrective surgery.
This study looks at how being exposed to general anesthesia before birth might affect a child's thinking skills and brain development. It compares children who were exposed to anesthesia during a mother's surgery (like for appendicitis) with children who were not exposed, and also with children whose mothers had inflammatory bowel disease. The goal is to see if anesthesia plays a role in learning or emotional challenges later in childhood.
This study watches how babies' brains respond when they receive anesthesia for necessary surgery or procedures in their first month of life. Researchers hope to better understand how anesthesia works in newborns to make it safer.
