Muscle Monitoring During Minimally Invasive Surgery
This study measures muscle activity in your arm and hand during robotic or laparoscopic surgery (surgery done with small cameras and instruments instead of large cuts). Researchers want to understand how these minimally invasive techniques affect surgeon hand function and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are having planned laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery (not emergency surgery)
- Your surgery is expected to last less than 5 hours
- You don't have a nerve injury, stroke, carpal tunnel, or similar wrist/hand condition
- You don't have a muscle disease like myasthenia gravis
- Your kidneys are working well (your doctor can confirm this with a blood test)

This trial tests if using a mild electrical device on your legs after surgery can help you recover faster. It is for people with colorectal or stomach cancer who are having curative abdominal surgery.
This study tests whether a monitoring device called MultiSense® can safely track your recovery at home after certain types of surgery. The goal is to see if this device helps doctors keep an eye on you without frequent hospital visits.
This trial tests how well two muscle monitors work when your arms are tucked in during surgery. It aims to see which type of monitor gives accurate readings when no muscle relaxants are used.
This study compares two different monitors that measure how deeply your muscles are relaxed during long surgeries (over 3 hours) like laparoscopic, robotic, or chest surgeries. The monitors help the anesthesia team keep you safe and comfortable.
This study compares two different devices that monitor how well your muscles recover from the muscle relaxant used during surgery. The goal is to see if the newer, smaller device works just as well as the standard one, which could make monitoring easier and more comfortable for you.
This trial tests a nerve-monitoring method during elective surgery to track how well muscle-relaxing medications are working. Doctors will place small sensors on your arms to measure nerve and muscle activity, which may help them give you the right dose of anesthesia.
