Heart rate and brain waves to predict recovery after brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study monitors your heart rate and brain waves during and after brain surgery to see if they can help doctors predict how well you will recover. It aims to improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) brain surgery.
- Doctors plan to remove your breathing tube in the recovery room after surgery.
- You are able to have high-quality heart and brain wave recordings during and after surgery.
- You can sign a consent form before surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a brain wave recording device (EEG) during heart surgery to see if it can predict short-term confusion or memory problems after the operation. It may help doctors find and treat thinking issues earlier.
This trial uses an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is a non-invasive way to measure your brain's electrical activity, to see if it can help predict confusion or delirium after planned brain surgery. The goal is to find out if brain wave patterns can warn doctors early, which might lead to better care.
This study uses a special brain-wave monitor during your surgery to see if it can predict confusion or memory problems afterward. It may help you and your doctors better understand your recovery.
This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow to the brain during heart surgery. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and reduce thinking problems after surgery.
This study uses special brain monitoring during heart surgery to see if it can help predict and prevent strokes. If you are having heart surgery and have certain risk factors like diabetes or a history of stroke, this trial might be a good fit for you.
This study checks how well your brain works before and after heart surgery. It uses safe tests like a CT scan and an EEG to see if surgery affects brain function.
