Testing how sevoflurane affects brain resilience during surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a common anesthesia gas (sevoflurane) affects the brain's ability to handle challenges during surgery. It is for people having planned same-day surgery who are generally healthy and have no known memory or thinking problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be under 85 years old.
- You need to have finished high school (or have a GED).
- You must not have any known memory or brain problems (like dementia or stroke).
- You must be generally healthy (mild or no medical problems) and have no heart disease.
- You must be having a planned same-day surgery that uses a gas anesthetic called sevoflurane.

This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (desflurane and sevoflurane) to see if one causes less confusion after surgery in older adults. It may help if you are 65 or older and having a non-heart, non-brain surgery lasting at least 2 hours.
This study compares three different anesthesia medicines to see which one might lower the chance of confusion or delirium after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a long, planned non-heart surgery, this trial could help determine the safest option for you.
This study looks at whether the anesthesia drug desflurane might affect memory or thinking in older adults after surgery. Researchers want to understand how this happens and find ways to prevent it.
This study compares two common anesthetics, sevoflurane and desflurane, to see how they affect a measure of stress called the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) during surgery. It aims to find which one might be better for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (gas vs. IV) during brain tumor surgery to see which one better protects the brain and helps with thinking and memory after the operation.
