Study on unintended awareness during general anesthesia
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how often people accidentally become aware during general anesthesia. It will help doctors better understand and prevent this rare but upsetting experience.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery with general anesthesia that is planned, not an emergency.
- You are an adult with a physical status rated ASA I, II, or III (generally healthy to mild or moderate illness).
- You can understand and answer simple questions about your experience.
- You do not have a condition like dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
- You will be woken up and have your breathing tube removed after surgery.

This early-stage study checks how brain activity changes when the median nerve is gently stimulated while you’re under general anesthesia with propofol. It may help researchers better understand brain–nerve connections and improve how these signals are measured.
This trial studies how stimulating a nerve in the wrist affects brain activity and sedation levels during propofol anesthesia. It may help improve care for right-handed patients having surgery.
This study looks at how anesthesia changes brain activity using EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording). Researchers want to see if these changes relate to how conscious you are during surgery. This could help doctors provide safer anesthesia care.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (spinal or general) in frail patients age 60+ having laparoscopic or robotic abdominal or pelvic surgery. The goal is to see if one approach helps with awareness and recovery.
This study looks at whether a combined airway method during general anesthesia can reduce unpleasant or risky “emergence” problems as you wake up. It is for people having planned laparoscopic (camera) surgery and who can follow fasting and consent rules.
This study looks at YouTube videos about anesthesia awareness (waking up during surgery) to see if they are accurate and helpful. It does not test a treatment, but aims to understand what information patients can find online.
