Brain monitoring during surgery to reduce confusion in young children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 6 years old and needs surgery (hernia repair or testicle correction)
- You are willing to give written permission for your child to participate
- Your child is in good general health with no serious chronic conditions
- Your child has no brain or nervous system disorders
- Your child does not have severe hearing or vision problems

This trial tests if using a brain monitor during anesthesia can help lessen agitation in children after surgery. If your child is 6-12, generally healthy, and having a non-emergency surgery, this might be relevant.
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 checks whether using an EEG machine (small sensors that record brain electrical activity) during elective surgery can help prevent or lessen emergence delirium—confusion and agitation right after waking up. It focuses on children under 16 and compares their experience around the time they come out of anesthesia.
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 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.
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.
