Brain activity and sedation during anesthesia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies how stimulating a nerve in the wrist affects brain activity and sedation levels during propofol anesthesia. It may help improve care for right-handed patients having surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are right-handed
- You are scheduled for surgery with propofol anesthesia
- Your BMI is between 20 and 30
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have no history of nerve injury or brain conditions that could affect the results

This early-stage study checks how brain activity changes when the median nerve is gently stimulated while you’re under general anesthesia with propofol. It may help researchers better understand brain–nerve connections and improve how these signals are measured.
This study looks at how the brain network connects during propofol sedation in people with long-lasting disorders of consciousness. It may help doctors understand brain function in these conditions and improve how care is guided during procedures.
This study looks at brain wave patterns in healthy adults undergoing general anesthesia for arm or leg surgery with a nerve block. It aims to understand how different anesthetics affect the brain, which could improve safety and recovery.
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 compares two ways of giving sedation (sleepy medicine) during a procedure to restore normal heart rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation. One method uses a special brain monitor to guide sedation doses, while the other uses standard clinical judgment. The goal is to see if the brain monitor helps keep you safer and more comfortable.
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.
