Nerve monitoring during surgery to track muscle relaxation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having elective (planned, non-emergency) surgery that requires muscle-relaxing drugs
- Both your arms must be positioned the same way during surgery so sensors can be placed on them
- You have no history of nerve or muscle disorders (like stroke or myasthenia gravis)
- You have no arm or hand problems (such as carpal tunnel syndrome, severe arthritis, or Dupuytren's contracture)
- Your liver and kidneys work well enough to process muscle-relaxing medications normally
- Your skin at the sensor sites is healthy with no wounds, rashes, or lesions

This trial tests a special nerve stimulation technique (100 Hz tetanic stimulation) to see if it can help monitor muscle function during anesthesia. It might help doctors make sure patients are properly relaxed during surgery.
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 compares two places on the hand—the thumb base and the pinky base—to see which is better for monitoring muscle relaxation during surgery. Participants will have their muscle response measured with a gentle electrical test (electromyography) while receiving a standard muscle relaxant (rocuronium).
This study compares two ways to monitor muscle relaxation during surgery. It looks at how well a nerve monitor on the arm works versus one on the wrist, to help doctors give the right amount of muscle relaxant medicine.
This study compares two methods of monitoring how well muscle relaxants are working during non-cardiac, non-chest surgery. It aims to find which method helps doctors manage these drugs better and improve recovery.
This trial compares two devices that measure how well muscle relaxant medicine is working during planned surgery. It may help anesthesiologists choose monitoring that improves safety by confirming the muscles are relaxing as intended.
