Brain activity during anesthesia for planned surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how anesthesia changes brain activity using EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording). Researchers want to see if these changes relate to how conscious you are during surgery. This could help doctors provide safer anesthesia care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia using a breathing tube or mask.
- Your health status is stable (classified as ASA I, II, or III by your doctor).
- You have normal thinking and memory (MMSE score 24 or higher before surgery).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or less.

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 study compares how three different anesthesia medications affect your brain's neural networks (the connections that help your brain function) during routine surgery. Researchers want to understand which anesthetic might be safest for protecting brain function.
This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
This study looks at how the brain’s electrical activity (measured with a painless EEG sensor) changes in children during planned surgery using common anesthesia medicines. It may help doctors better understand brain effects of anesthesia in healthy children having non–head or non–heart surgery.
This study looks at how anesthesia affects brain networks in people with prolonged disorders of consciousness. It uses a spinal stimulator and sleep recordings (PSG) to understand brain activity better and may help improve treatment.
This study looks at how the anesthetic propofol affects the brain. It uses MRI and EEG to monitor brain activity during anesthesia, helping researchers understand how consciousness is lost.
