Brain Function After Gynecologic Surgery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study measures whether women experience changes in thinking and memory after having gynecologic surgery (removal of uterus and/or ovaries). Researchers want to understand how anesthesia and surgery affect the brain and identify who might be at risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 or older
- You are having planned removal of your uterus and/or ovaries under general anesthesia (surgery where you're fully asleep)
- You can complete a memory and thinking test (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) in Turkish
- You can read, understand, and sign a consent form
- You do not have dementia or serious memory problems before surgery
- You have not had a stroke in the past 3 months

This study looks at why some older adults have trouble thinking clearly after surgery. It tests if sleep problems and a natural chemical called melanin concentrating hormone are linked to this brain fog.
This study looks back at information already collected around elective surgery to understand how anesthesia and surgery may affect thinking and memory (sometimes called POCD). It mainly uses records and questionnaires rather than adding a new treatment.
This trial looks at how well the brain controls its own blood flow during non-cardiac surgeries. It aims to see if problems with this regulation are linked to confusion after surgery (delirium).
This study looks at how older adults' thinking and memory may change after a common prostate surgery, and whether some patients become confused or delirious afterward. It may help doctors understand who is at risk for these problems.
This study looks at how memory and thinking change after major surgery in people age 70 and older. It may help doctors understand who is at risk and how to reduce problems with thinking after surgery.
This study looks at how well older adults think and remember after surgery. It wants to see if there is a link between anesthesia, surgery, and thinking problems later on.
