Muscle Relaxant Recovery After Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the effects of muscle relaxants given during surgery still affect patients after they wake up, and if that leads to any complications. It may help doctors improve care for people who have general anesthesia with muscle relaxants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery with general anesthesia that includes a muscle relaxant (a drug that temporarily stops your muscles from moving).
- You will be admitted to the hospital after surgery (not same-day surgery).
- You do not have a disease that affects your muscles or the nerves that control them (like muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, or ALS).
- You are not going to the intensive care unit (ICU) right after surgery.
- You can sign a consent form to participate.

This study checks patients in the recovery room for any remaining effects of muscle relaxants used during surgery. It aims to see how common this is and how it affects recovery.
This study tests how well a medication can reverse the effects of a muscle relaxant used during anesthesia. The goal is to help your muscles work normally again after surgery so you wake up safely.
This study looks at whether a simple risk score can predict how long it takes for muscles to fully recover after surgery. It may help doctors decide when it is safe to wake you up fully.
This study compares two methods of monitoring how well muscle relaxants are working during non-cardiac, non-chest surgery. It aims to find which method helps doctors manage these drugs better and improve recovery.
This study checks how well a risk score predicts muscle weakness after surgery. It uses a monitor to measure muscle recovery in the recovery room. If you are having elective surgery with muscle relaxants, this trial may help improve safety.
This trial uses a device called TetraGraph to measure how quickly a muscle relaxant (rocuronium) works and wears off during surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for patients who need this medicine.
