Faster, Safer Awakening After Brain Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of giving anesthesia during elective brain surgery to help you wake up faster and safer. It uses a special monitor to guide the amount of medication so you can recover more quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study monitors your heart rate and brain waves during and after brain surgery to see if they can help doctors predict how well you will recover. It aims to improve care for future patients.
This trial compares two ways of giving anesthesia during brain tumor surgery to see how they affect awareness and dreaming after surgery. It may help doctors choose a method that improves comfort while keeping patients safely asleep and recovering normally.
This study tests whether special monitoring during brain surgery can help surgeons remove tumors safely while protecting important brain functions like language and movement.
This study tests a special brain-wave monitor (called processed EEG) during surgery to remove a brain tumor. The monitor helps the anesthesiologist keep you at the right level of sleep, which may improve safety and recovery.
This study compares two ways of doing brain surgery for glioblastoma: doing parts of the operation while you are awake, versus doing it fully under general anesthesia (sleep). It aims to see which approach is safer and better for protecting brain functions like speech and movement while removing the tumor.
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
