Personality quiz to predict waking confusion after anesthesia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple personality quiz taken before surgery can help predict if you might wake up confused or agitated after anesthesia. It does not change your anesthesia plan, just observes and tracks recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a planned (non-emergency) surgery that requires general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
- You are 18 years or older.

- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems, or difficulty communicating.
- You have not been diagnosed with a mental illness or take psychiatric medications.
- You have not taken part in another clinical trial in the past month.

This study looks at a brain chemical called orexin (which helps control wakefulness) in older adults after surgery. The goal is to see if orexin levels are linked to confusion or agitation that can happen when waking up from anesthesia. If you take part, your blood will be tested before and 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 how the brain wakes up from two common types of anesthesia: one given through a breathing tube (inhalational) and one given through an IV (total intravenous). It uses a special headband to measure brain waves, which may help doctors improve anesthesia care and recovery.
This study looks at how sleep problems before surgery affect the amount of anesthesia needed and how well you recover after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to help doctors personalize care for better recovery.
This study tests whether giving a simple verbal reminder (like telling you where you are) after anesthesia can help reduce confusion or agitation when waking up. It is for adults having laparoscopic abdominal surgery under a specific inhaled anesthetic.
This study looks at whether brain activity patterns during your surgery can predict confusion or delirium after the operation. It may help doctors better prevent postoperative confusion in older adults.
