Sound and touch for better recovery from anesthesia
This trial tests whether playing sounds or using gentle touch during recovery from anesthesia can help you wake up more smoothly after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. It is a non-drug approach that may reduce side effects of anesthesia.

This study tests whether playing special sounds (binaural beats) through earphones during breast surgery can reduce the amount of anesthesia medicine needed. This might help you wake up more comfortably and with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether giving a simple verbal reminder (like telling you where you are) after anesthesia can help reduce confusion or agitation when waking up. It is for adults having laparoscopic abdominal surgery under a specific inhaled anesthetic.
This trial tests whether a special light and sound device (40-Hz audiovisual stimulation) shown during and after surgery can help children's brains recover better from anesthesia. It uses brain wave monitoring to guide the therapy. Participation may improve your child's brain function after surgery.
This study tests whether using special brain-wave monitoring and heart-signal information during anesthesia can improve your comfort and recovery after certain laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries. If you qualify, your anesthesia plan may be guided by these monitors to help standardize care and track 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 trial compares different anesthesia monitoring techniques during laparoscopic surgery to see how they affect recovery, pain, and confusion after the operation. It may help find a way to improve your recovery and reduce side effects from anesthesia.
