How anesthesia affects thinking after weight-loss surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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 older adults (65+) think and remember after surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. It compares those who have temporary confusion after surgery with those who don't, to understand long-term changes in brain function.
This study compares two anesthesia methods—inhaled gas (desflurane) versus IV medication (TIVA)—during weight-loss surgery to see how each affects your body's stress response and recovery. The goal is to understand which approach may be safer and more comfortable for patients having bariatric surgery.
This study looks at how weight-loss surgery affects your brain, metabolism, and memory. By participating, you can help doctors understand how these changes happen after surgery.
This study looks at how anesthesia changes brain activity using EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording). Researchers want to see if these changes relate to how conscious you are during surgery. This could help doctors provide safer anesthesia care.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during chest surgery to see how they affect your brain health after the operation. One method lets you breathe on your own during the procedure, while the other uses a breathing tube. The goal is to find a safer approach that helps you recover better.
This study will look at whether a common anesthesia gas (desflurane) might affect memory and thinking in older adults after surgery. By comparing different anesthesia approaches, researchers hope to find ways to keep your mind sharp after your operation.
