Effect of head-down tilt on thinking after robotic prostate surgery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how being tilted head-down during robotic prostate surgery may affect your memory and thinking. Doctors want to see if this position is safe for older adults' brain function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years of age or older.
- You have been scheduled for robotic prostate removal surgery.
- You are in good enough health to have surgery (ASA class II or III).
- You do not have a history of brain or mental health conditions.
- You are willing to take part in the study.
