Comparing two devices that monitor muscle relaxation during surgery
This study compares two different devices that monitor how well your muscles recover from the muscle relaxant used during surgery. The goal is to see if the newer, smaller device works just as well as the standard one, which could make monitoring easier and more comfortable for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your overall health is good to moderate (ASA I, II, or III).
- Your surgery will use a muscle relaxant medication.
- You do not have a nerve or muscle disease (like stroke or myasthenia gravis).
- You are not taking medications that affect nerve-muscle function.
- You do not have a skin wound or rash where the monitor sticker would go, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial compares two devices that measure how well muscle relaxant medicine is working during planned surgery. It may help anesthesiologists choose monitoring that improves safety by confirming the muscles are relaxing as intended.
This trial tests a new device that measures how well muscle relaxants work during surgery. It may help anesthesiologists give the right amount of medication.
