Waking up after foot and ankle surgery to improve recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of waking up from anesthesia after foot or ankle surgery. The goal is to see if it helps you feel better and think more clearly right after the operation. You will answer a few short questions about your memory and thinking while you are in the recovery room.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for foot or ankle surgery at Stanford Health.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health conditions (classified as ASA I to III).
- You are not taking daily opioid pain medications.
- You do not have a memory disorder, severe mental illness, or other condition that would make it hard to complete thinking tests.
- You can see, hear, and understand English well enough to complete a short memory and thinking test after surgery.
- You are not currently enrolled in another research study that could affect your recovery.

This trial tests whether monitoring how deeply you sleep during anesthesia helps prevent confusion and memory problems after surgery. It is for older adults who can give consent and are having a major operation.
This study tests whether using brain wave monitoring during anesthesia can improve care for older patients having surgery. It also trains anesthesia providers on how to use this monitoring.
This study looks at how your brain responds to a common sleep medication used during surgery (sevoflurane). It will help doctors understand why some people wake up faster after surgery and may lead to more personalized plans for anesthesia recovery.
This study looks at whether brain activity patterns during your surgery can predict confusion or delirium after the operation. It may help doctors better prevent postoperative confusion in older adults.
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 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.
