Brain wave patterns during general anesthesia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how your brain waves change during general anesthesia. It might help doctors understand the best way to keep you safely asleep during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 20 and 60 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 24.
- You are right-handed.
- You are having an arm or leg surgery that uses a nerve block (pain-numbing injection).

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.
This study compares how the brain wakes up from two common types of anesthesia: one given through a breathing tube (inhalational) and one given through an IV (total intravenous). It uses a special headband to measure brain waves, which may help doctors improve anesthesia care and recovery.
This study looks at how the brain changes when people go under general anesthesia. It includes children having surgery and healthy adults, which may help doctors understand consciousness better.
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.
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 tests how different anesthesia medicines affect brain connections during surgery. Participants will be monitored while receiving one of three anesthetics to see which has the least impact on brain function.
