Monitoring brain activity to reduce post-anesthesia confusion in kids
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a brain monitor during anesthesia can help lessen agitation in children after surgery. If your child is 6-12, generally healthy, and having a non-emergency surgery, this might be relevant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 6 and 12 years old
- No long-term health conditions like diabetes or asthma
- No history of seizures or epilepsy
- Child must be awake, alert, and able to cooperate before surgery
- Surgery cannot be on the brain or a trauma emergency
- Forehead must be clear for the sticky sensor pads

This study tests whether using special brain-monitoring devices during anesthesia can help reduce confusion and agitation that sometimes happens after surgery in children ages 1–6. The goal is to improve recovery by helping doctors manage anesthesia more precisely.
This study tests whether using brain-wave monitoring (EEG) during anesthesia with sevoflurane can reduce the amount of pain medicine needed after tonsillectomy and improve how smoothly children wake up. It could help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
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 brain-wave activity (measured with sensors) in young children during and after general anesthesia for planned eye surgery. It may help doctors understand why some children become very upset or confused as they wake up.
This study checks whether using an EEG machine (small sensors that record brain electrical activity) during elective surgery can help prevent or lessen emergence delirium—confusion and agitation right after waking up. It focuses on children under 16 and compares their experience around the time they come out of anesthesia.
This study tests whether training anesthesia providers to use EEG (brain-wave monitoring) helps them give better anesthesia. Part A trains doctors and nurse anesthetists; Part B watches how this training affects patient outcomes during surgery.
