Testing an adjustable headrest for painless abortion in overweight patients
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special adjustable headrest can help make painless abortion surgery safer and more comfortable for people who are overweight or obese. You may be able to join if you are planning this procedure, have a BMI over 24, and are otherwise healthy enough for anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have a painless surgical abortion (a procedure to remove pregnancy tissue under anesthesia).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 24, which means you are overweight or obese.
- You are generally healthy enough for anesthesia (rated as ASA I or II by your doctor).
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You do not have lung problems, breathing issues, airway blockages, neck problems, or a mental health condition that would prevent participation.

This study tests whether changing your head and body position helps with breathing mask ventilation before surgery in people with obesity.
This study compares two ways of positioning your head and neck when placing a breathing tube for surgery. It tests whether using a custom pillow in a 'ramp' position works better than the standard 'sniffing' position. The goal is to make intubation safer and easier for patients with a certain body type.
This trial tests a new way to manage the airway (the breathing tube) in people with obesity who are having a painless stomach and colonoscopy. It aims to see if this new approach improves safety and comfort during the procedure.
This study tests whether turning your head to the left helps doctors see your vocal cords better during anesthesia. It focuses on people with obesity undergoing surgery that requires a breathing tube.
This study tests a new automated system that delivers anesthesia during a painless abortion procedure. The system uses reinforcement learning to adjust anesthesia levels automatically, which may improve safety and comfort.
This study tests different ways of using a breathing machine (ventilator) during laparoscopic surgery in people with obesity. The goal is to find a safer and more effective ventilation method for this group.
