Dreams or memory during robotic-assisted surgery
This study looks at whether people remember things like dreams during anesthesia for robotic surgery. By helping us understand how the brain works under anesthesia, this could improve how patients are cared for during operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (a type of minimally invasive surgery).
- Your health status (known as ASA score) is between 1 and 3, meaning you are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health issues.
- You do not have any neurological or psychiatric conditions, memory problems, or a history of head injury.
- You have no hearing problems.
- You are not currently taking and have not taken medications that affect the brain or nervous system.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at whether certain anesthesia medications and airway devices are linked to short-term memory or thinking problems after breast surgery. If you’re having breast surgery under general anesthesia, your care team may compare outcomes to learn how to reduce “post-op cognitive dysfunction.”
This study looks back at information already collected around elective surgery to understand how anesthesia and surgery may affect thinking and memory (sometimes called POCD). It mainly uses records and questionnaires rather than adding a new treatment.
This study looks at how often people remember being aware during surgery while under general anesthesia. By joining, you may help doctors find ways to prevent this experience in the future.
This study tests whether a newer type of anesthesia (remimazolam) helps protect memory and thinking after heart surgery. It may help older adults keep their mental sharpness following surgery.
This trial tests if a special brain monitor can help track awareness during laparoscopic surgery while under general anesthesia. Participation may help improve safety and comfort during surgery.
