Comparing two anesthesia methods for brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving anesthesia during planned brain surgery on the upper part of the brain. It tests if using a computer-controlled system to deliver the anesthesia drugs is better than manually adjusting them.

This trial compares two common anesthesia drugs (sevoflurane gas vs. propofol injection) to see which one lowers the risk of confusion or delirium after surgery in older adults with diabetes. It aims to find a safer way to give anesthesia for your operation.
This study compares two different ways doctors can put patients to sleep for spine surgery and measures how the patient's heart and blood pressure respond. The goal is to see which method is safer and more stable during surgery.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
This trial compares two ways of giving anesthesia during brain tumor surgery to see how they affect awareness and dreaming after surgery. It may help doctors choose a method that improves comfort while keeping patients safely asleep and recovering normally.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (gas vs. IV) during brain tumor surgery to see which one better protects the brain and helps with thinking and memory after the operation.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
