How operating room noise affects brain activity during anesthesia
This trial studies whether the noise level in the operating room changes brain activity and vital signs while you are under general anesthesia. It may help doctors create a quieter, more comfortable environment during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) surgery
- You will receive general anesthesia (you will be completely asleep)
- You do not have hearing problems or ear conditions
- You do not have a neurological disease (like epilepsy, stroke, or dementia)
- You are not taking psychiatric medications (like antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs)

This trial studies breath sounds during planned surgeries under general anesthesia. It aims to understand how breath sounds change during procedures, which may help doctors improve monitoring and care.
This trial tests whether listening to music during breast surgery can reduce the amount of anesthesia medication needed. If you're having breast surgery and can use headphones, this study may help make your experience more comfortable.
This trial studies whether special brain wave monitoring during anesthesia can help improve children's behavior after surgery. It is for children ages 3 to 10 having certain types of surgery that last more than an hour.
This study looks at how anesthesia changes brain activity using EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording). Researchers want to see if these changes relate to how conscious you are during surgery. This could help doctors provide safer anesthesia care.
This study tests whether playing music and reducing noise in the operating room can lower the amount of anesthesia and pain medicine needed for children aged 3 to 18 during surgery. It may help children feel more comfortable and recover more smoothly.
This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
