Does a risk score predict muscle recovery after surgery?
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple risk score can predict how long it takes for muscles to fully recover after surgery. It may help doctors decide when it is safe to wake you up fully.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are in generally good health (mild medical conditions are okay).
- You are not scheduled to go to the intensive care unit right after surgery, and muscle monitoring can start within 10 minutes of waking up.
- You do not take medicines that affect muscle activity.
- You are not allergic to drugs that temporarily relax muscles during surgery.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a nerve or muscle disease.

This study checks how well a risk score predicts muscle weakness after surgery. It uses a monitor to measure muscle recovery in the recovery room. If you are having elective surgery with muscle relaxants, this trial may help improve safety.
This study looks at whether the effects of muscle relaxants given during surgery still affect patients after they wake up, and if that leads to any complications. It may help doctors improve care for people who have general anesthesia with muscle relaxants.
This study tests how well a medication can reverse the effects of a muscle relaxant used during anesthesia. The goal is to help your muscles work normally again after surgery so you wake up safely.
This study checks patients in the recovery room for any remaining effects of muscle relaxants used during surgery. It aims to see how common this is and how it affects recovery.
This study compares two methods of monitoring how well muscle relaxants are working during non-cardiac, non-chest surgery. It aims to find which method helps doctors manage these drugs better and improve recovery.
This study compares two ways to monitor muscle relaxation during surgery. It looks at how well a nerve monitor on the arm works versus one on the wrist, to help doctors give the right amount of muscle relaxant medicine.
