Brain wave monitoring during anesthesia and sedation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain waves change during anesthesia and sedation in adults and children. It may help doctors understand how to better monitor and adjust these medications in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and are scheduled for general anesthesia or sedation for a procedure.
- You are 70 or older and are scheduled for general anesthesia.
- Your child is between 1 and 17 years old and is scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia.
- Your child has a confirmed autism spectrum disorder diagnosis (for the autism subgroup).
- You or your child have not been diagnosed with cognitive impairment.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding (for adult participants).

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 monitors brain activity during anesthesia in people aged 60 and older. It looks at very slow brain waves before a certain anesthesia pattern appears, which may help doctors understand anesthesia effects on older adults.
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 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.
This study looks at brain-wave activity (measured with sensors) in young children during and after general anesthesia for planned eye surgery. It may help doctors understand why some children become very upset or confused as they wake up.
