Brain oxygen and artery pressure study during awake carotid surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood pressure in the carotid artery relates to oxygen levels in the brain during awake carotid surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your brain during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled to have carotid endarterectomy (surgery to clear a blocked neck artery)
- You can have the surgery while awake using a numbing block in your neck
- You agree to have monitors placed on your head to measure oxygen levels in your brain
- You have not had the same surgery or a stent in the same artery before
- You have not had a major stroke with lasting weakness or a heart attack in the last 3 months

This study tests a device that measures oxygen levels in your brain during awake carotid surgery. It aims to help doctors watch your brain health in real time and reduce risks during the procedure.
This study looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid artery surgery can help predict or prevent a stroke. If you are having this surgery, researchers want to see if a simple monitor on your forehead can warn the surgical team of trouble.
This study looks at whether using general anesthesia (being fully asleep) during carotid surgery affects how well your brain is protected. Researchers will use memory tests and MRI scans to check patients before and after the operation.
This trial looks at whether monitoring oxygen levels in the brain during carotid endarterectomy (a surgery to reduce stroke risk) can help reduce postoperative delirium, a sudden period of confusion after surgery. It may help patients recover more clearly after the operation by identifying risks early and guiding care.
This trial studies how blood flow and brain function change after a carotid artery revascularization procedure (opening a narrowed carotid artery). It may help doctors understand what to expect after treatment, especially in people with significant artery narrowing.
This study tests a non-invasive blood pressure monitor during carotid artery surgery to see if it can replace the standard arterial catheter. It may help patients by reducing the need for a tube placed in an artery.
