Anesthesia depth monitoring for recovery after spinal surgery in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether carefully monitoring how deep your anesthesia is during spinal surgery can help older adults recover better and think more clearly afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) spinal surgery.
- Your overall health is stable or well-managed (classified as ASA I, II, or III).
- You do not have a diagnosis of delirium (sudden confusion) or dementia (memory loss).
- You are able to understand the study and give your consent.

This study looks at brain wave patterns during surgery in older adults to better understand and predict confusion after surgery. If you are 60 or older and having joint or spine surgery, you may be able to help.
This study examines how well a brain-monitoring device (called a bispectral index monitor) tracks your level of consciousness during surgery when you receive anesthesia through an IV. The findings may help doctors better manage anesthesia and keep you safer during procedures.
This study looks at a special type of brain wave that happens during deep sleep under anesthesia. Researchers want to learn more about how the brain transitions into a suppressed state, which might help improve anesthesia care. It is for older adults (60+) having planned non-head/neck surgery under general anesthesia.
This trial compares two ways of giving anesthesia during planned brain surgery on the upper part of the brain. It tests if using a computer-controlled system to deliver the anesthesia drugs is better than manually adjusting them.
This trial tests whether adding an extra visual display (density spectral array) to the standard brain monitor helps doctors better track anesthesia depth in older adults. It's designed for people 65+ having short surgeries with propofol and no muscle relaxants.
This trial tests whether monitoring how deeply you sleep during anesthesia helps prevent confusion and memory problems after surgery. It is for older adults who can give consent and are having a major operation.
