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 trial tests if using a brain monitor during anesthesia can help lessen agitation in children after surgery. If your child is 6-12, generally healthy, and having a non-emergency surgery, this might be relevant.
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.
This study tests whether using brain wave monitoring to guide pain medication during surgery can help older adults recover their thinking and memory faster after anesthesia. It might improve early mental recovery after a major operation.
This study tests whether using brain wave monitoring during anesthesia can improve care for older patients having surgery. It also trains anesthesia providers on how to use this monitoring.
