EEG brain signals during anesthesia or sedation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses EEG (a painless head sensor test) to study brain activity during anesthesia or sedation in both children and adults. The goal is to better understand how the brain responds to these medicines, which may help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) or a child between 1 and 17 years old.
- You are scheduled for a procedure that uses general anesthesia or sedation.
- If you are a child, your parents or guardians have agreed to the trial and understand what's involved.
- If you are an adult, you have had your pre-anesthesia checkup and do not have a known cognitive impairment (like memory or thinking problems).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding (for women of childbearing age).
- You have not refused to take part (if you are an adult) or if you are a child old enough to understand, you have not said 'no' either.

This trial studies whether special brain wave monitoring during anesthesia can help improve children's behavior after surgery. It is for children ages 3 to 10 having certain types of surgery that last more than an hour.
This study tests a new bedside monitoring system that tracks brain activity in ICU patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving sedative medications. It aims to help doctors better manage sedation and improve patient care.
This study looks at a special type of brain wave that happens during deep sleep under anesthesia. Researchers want to learn more about how the brain transitions into a suppressed state, which might help improve anesthesia care. It is for older adults (60+) having planned non-head/neck surgery under general anesthesia.
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 trial tests how anesthesia affects brain activity in people with drug-resistant epilepsy who need brain electrode monitoring. It may help us understand consciousness and improve anesthesia safety.
This study tests whether using special brain-monitoring devices during anesthesia can help reduce confusion and agitation that sometimes happens after surgery in children ages 1–6. The goal is to improve recovery by helping doctors manage anesthesia more precisely.
