Testing a new nerve stimulation method for surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special nerve stimulation technique (100 Hz tetanic stimulation) to see if it can help monitor muscle function during anesthesia. It might help doctors make sure patients are properly relaxed during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a nerve-monitoring method during elective surgery to track how well muscle-relaxing medications are working. Doctors will place small sensors on your arms to measure nerve and muscle activity, which may help them give you the right dose of anesthesia.
This study tests a new sensor and cable that monitors muscle response during procedures where you are given medication to temporarily relax your muscles (paralytic). It helps doctors make sure the medication is working properly and wears off safely.
This trial compares two devices that measure how well muscle relaxant medicine is working during planned surgery. It may help anesthesiologists choose monitoring that improves safety by confirming the muscles are relaxing as intended.
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
This study tests how well a gentle nerve stimulation device works and how it feels. It may help researchers develop new ways to treat nerve-related conditions.
This study compares two different monitors that measure how deeply your muscles are relaxed during long surgeries (over 3 hours) like laparoscopic, robotic, or chest surgeries. The monitors help the anesthesia team keep you safe and comfortable.
