How anesthesia affects newborn brain activity
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain reacts to anesthesia in newborn babies. It may help doctors understand how to keep babies safe and comfortable during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born full term, between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy
- Need general anesthesia or deep sedation for a surgery or procedure within the first 28 days of life
- Anesthesia will start with a drug called propofol
- No brain surgery, brain injury, or suspected brain malformation
- No major health instability at the time of the surgery

This study looks at how general anesthesia may affect “brain injury marker” levels during and after surgery for single-suture craniosynostosis in infants. It may help doctors better understand anesthesia timing and safety for babies having corrective surgery.
This study looks at how brain waves change during anesthesia and sedation in adults and children. It may help doctors understand how to better monitor and adjust these medications in the future.
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 how well newborn babies’ brains are getting oxygen and how brain activity changes while they have certain major surgeries. It may help doctors better monitor brain safety during surgery in newborns with specific conditions.
This study tests how different anesthesia medicines affect brain connections during surgery. Participants will be monitored while receiving one of three anesthetics to see which has the least impact on brain function.
This study looks at how general anesthesia and surgery may affect brain development in children. Participation involves an assessment of your child's brain and behavior to help researchers learn more about any potential impact.
