Brain wave guided anesthesia and child behavior
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 3 and 10 years old.
- The surgery must last longer than 1 hour.
- The surgery must be for urology, plastic surgery, or pediatric surgery.
- You must agree to a brief phone interview after the surgery (verbal consent is fine).
- Your child cannot have neuromotor delays, epilepsy, or take seizure medication.
- Your child cannot need intensive care right after surgery, and this must not be an emergency surgery.

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.
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 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 tests whether training anesthesia providers to use EEG (brain-wave monitoring) helps them give better anesthesia. Part A trains doctors and nurse anesthetists; Part B watches how this training affects patient outcomes during surgery.
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.
