Can eye nerve test predict brain complications after carotid surgery?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial checks if measuring the nerve sheath in your eye can help doctors predict brain-related problems after carotid artery surgery. It aims to improve safety during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective carotid artery surgery under general anesthesia.
- You are able to breathe on your own and are awake and alert before surgery.
- You do not have any neurological issues not caused by your carotid artery condition.
- You are not currently on a breathing tube.

This study looks at how blood pressure in the carotid artery relates to oxygen levels in the brain during awake carotid surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your brain during the procedure.
This trial looks at what factors predict new or worsening nerve symptoms after a carotid endarterectomy (a surgery to clear plaque in the neck artery) when done with regional anesthesia. It may help doctors better anticipate and prevent neurologic problems during this procedure.
This study looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid artery surgery can help predict or prevent a stroke. If you are having this surgery, researchers want to see if a simple monitor on your forehead can warn the surgical team of trouble.
This study watches for brain damage during carotid artery surgery (a procedure to clear blocked arteries in your neck). Researchers use brain scans and cognitive tests to see if general anesthesia affects your brain during the operation.
This study follows patients who have had carotid artery surgery to see if the artery narrows again. It helps doctors understand how well the surgery works over time.
This trial studies how blood flow and brain function change after a carotid artery revascularization procedure (opening a narrowed carotid artery). It may help doctors understand what to expect after treatment, especially in people with significant artery narrowing.
