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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 different types of anesthesia used during sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery) may affect your memory and thinking skills after the operation. Researchers want to understand which anesthesia approach is safest for your brain.
This study looks at how well older adults think and remember before and after surgery to see if any changes are linked to complications after surgery. It may help doctors understand and reduce post-surgery confusion or memory problems.
This study looks at how brain “metabolomics” (small chemical signals in the brain/body) relate to thinking or mood problems that can happen after surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors understand who is more likely to have these side effects after an operation.
