Comparing two muscle monitors during surgery
This study compares two devices that measure how well muscle relaxants work during surgery. It aims to see if a newer device is as good as the standard one, which may help doctors use the right amount of medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery that requires a muscle relaxant.

- You do not have a neuromuscular disease like myasthenia gravis or a history of stroke with weakness.
- You are not taking medications that affect nerve-muscle function.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a nerve-monitoring method during elective surgery to track how well muscle-relaxing medications are working. Doctors will place small sensors on your arms to measure nerve and muscle activity, which may help them give you the right dose of anesthesia.
This trial compares two places on the hand—the thumb base and the pinky base—to see which is better for monitoring muscle relaxation during surgery. Participants will have their muscle response measured with a gentle electrical test (electromyography) while receiving a standard muscle relaxant (rocuronium).
This trial compares two ways of measuring how well muscle relaxants work during anesthesia in patients with severe obesity undergoing weight-loss surgery. It may help find the most accurate method for this patient group.
This study compares two different monitors that measure how deeply your muscles are relaxed during long surgeries (over 3 hours) like laparoscopic, robotic, or chest surgeries. The monitors help the anesthesia team keep you safe and comfortable.
This study compares two methods of monitoring how well muscle relaxants are working during non-cardiac, non-chest surgery. It aims to find which method helps doctors manage these drugs better and improve recovery.
This study compares two devices that measure how well your muscles recover from anesthesia during gallbladder surgery. It may help doctors choose the best way to ensure your muscles are working normally before you wake up.
