EEG-guided anesthesia study for surgical patients and providers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older
- You are having elective (planned) surgery that is not on your heart or brain and lasts at least 2 hours
- You are getting general anesthesia (completely asleep)
- You have a healthy-enough status (ASA I, II, or III)
- You do not have dementia, significant memory problems, or a major neurological condition
- You are not pregnant

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 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 tests whether using brain wave monitoring to guide pain medication during surgery can help older adults recover their thinking and memory faster after anesthesia. It might improve early mental recovery after a major operation.
This study looks at interventions to help with “postoperative delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen after surgery, and uses brain measures like EEG and optional MRI. It may help doctors identify who is at risk and learn what approaches are most helpful after surgery.
This study checks brain-wave signals during heart surgery (using EEG monitoring) to understand who is at risk for confusion after surgery. If you qualify, your team will track your thinking after the operation to help reduce or better manage postoperative delirium.
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.
