Nose surgery and blood pressure effects on memory
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how keeping blood pressure slightly lower during nose surgery affects brain proteins and thinking after surgery. The goal is to see if this approach helps protect your memory and mental function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for nose surgery (rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty) under general anesthesia.
- You are in good general health (classified as ASA I or II by your anesthesiologist).
- You do not have a history of brain or nervous system disorders, psychiatric conditions, or severe memory or thinking problems.
- Your surgery does not require rib cartilage grafts and is expected to last less than 3 hours.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This Phase 3 study tests whether a special form of local numbing medicine (liposomal bupivacaine) helps reduce pain after septorhinoplasty (nose and septum surgery). You may be considered if you’re planning this surgery and can follow study instructions before and after.
This study tracks how patients feel and function after nose surgery that uses a piece of cartilage (septal extension graft) to reshape the nose. Researchers want to understand both the benefits and any complications to improve future care.
This study tests a numbing injection in the cheek area before septorhinoplasty to see if it improves pain control and reduces the need for strong IV pain medicine. It may help you have a smoother recovery with less discomfort.
This study looks at how different blood pressure targets during nose surgery affect blood flow to the eye and the optic nerve. It aims to find the safest way to protect eye health during anesthesia.
This study compares two medicines used during nasal surgery to keep blood pressure stable and reduce bleeding. One is a short-acting painkiller (remifentanil), and the other is a blood pressure-lowering drug (nicardipine). If you are having planned nasal surgery eliminated for participation, you might be eligible.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test taken before nose surgery can help predict how much pain you might feel right after the operation. It does not involve any new treatments or medications.
