EEG study of anesthesia and consciousness in epilepsy
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests how anesthesia affects brain activity in people with drug-resistant epilepsy who need brain electrode monitoring. It may help us understand consciousness and improve anesthesia safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 1 and 65 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 25
- You have drug-resistant epilepsy and need deep brain electrode monitoring
- You are in generally good health aside from epilepsy (no serious heart, lung, liver, kidney, or immune problems)
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant
- You have no known allergies to medications used in the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study explores how people recover after being given a common sedative called dexmedetomidine. It may help doctors better understand and manage recovery from sedation.
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to see if people who are lightly sedated can still think or respond. Researchers want to understand 'covert consciousness' during sedation with two common medicines, dexmedetomidine and ketamine.
This trial uses EEG (a painless head sensor test) to study brain activity during anesthesia or sedation in both children and adults. The goal is to better understand how the brain responds to these medicines, which may help improve future care.
This trial tests whether using EEG monitoring (a sensor-based brain activity recording) to fine-tune pain medicine during general anesthesia can help older adults recover their thinking and memory sooner after surgery. You may benefit from a plan aimed at reducing early “brain fog” after anesthesia.
This study looks at how anesthesia affects brain networks in people with prolonged disorders of consciousness. It uses a spinal stimulator and sleep recordings (PSG) to understand brain activity better and may help improve treatment.
This study compares how three different anesthesia medications affect your brain's neural networks (the connections that help your brain function) during routine surgery. Researchers want to understand which anesthetic might be safest for protecting brain function.
