Measuring brain waves to predict waking after anesthesia
This study looks at how your brain responds to a common sleep medication used during surgery (sevoflurane). It will help doctors understand why some people wake up faster after surgery and may lead to more personalized plans for anesthesia recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 50 years old.
- Your surgery is elective (planned) and uses general anesthesia (you are fully asleep).
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You do not have any neurological or psychiatric conditions and do not take related medications (like antidepressants, opioids, or sedatives).
- You have no kidney, heart, or liver problems and are not severely overweight (BMI less than 35).

This study compares how the brain wakes up from two common types of anesthesia: one given through a breathing tube (inhalational) and one given through an IV (total intravenous). It uses a special headband to measure brain waves, which may help doctors improve anesthesia care and recovery.
This study tests a new way of waking up from anesthesia after foot or ankle surgery. The goal is to see if it helps you feel better and think more clearly right after the operation. You will answer a few short questions about your memory and thinking while you are in the recovery room.
This study looks at how your brain waves change during general anesthesia. It might help doctors understand the best way to keep you safely asleep during surgery.
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
This study looks at whether brain activity patterns during your surgery can predict confusion or delirium after the operation. It may help doctors better prevent postoperative confusion in older adults.
