Comparing two muscle monitoring methods in obesity surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of measuring how well muscle relaxants work during anesthesia in patients with severe obesity undergoing weight-loss surgery. It may help find the most accurate method for this patient group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You need to have severe obesity (BMI 40 or higher, or BMI 35–39 with weight-related health problems).
- You must be scheduled for weight-loss (bariatric) surgery under general anesthesia.
- You should not have serious lung, heart, liver, or kidney disease.
- You must be willing to provide written informed consent.

This study compares two ways of providing anesthesia during weight-loss surgery: one that uses opioid painkillers and one that does not. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to better recovery and fewer complications after surgery.
This study compares two devices that measure how well muscle relaxants work during surgery. It aims to see if a newer device is as good as the standard one, which may help doctors use the right amount of medication.
This study compares two methods of monitoring how well muscle relaxants are working during non-cardiac, non-chest surgery. It aims to find which method helps doctors manage these drugs better and improve recovery.
This study compares two different monitors that measure how deeply your muscles are relaxed during long surgeries (over 3 hours) like laparoscopic, robotic, or chest surgeries. The monitors help the anesthesia team keep you safe and comfortable.
This study compares two devices that measure how well your muscles recover from anesthesia during gallbladder surgery. It may help doctors choose the best way to ensure your muscles are working normally before you wake up.
