Gentle neck pressure effect on brain oxygen during anesthesia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying gentle pressure to one side of the neck during general anesthesia affects oxygen levels in the brain. It aims to see if this safe technique could help protect the brain during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) surgery that requires general anesthesia and a breathing tube
- You are generally in good health or have mild to moderate health problems (classified as ASA I to III)
- You can understand the study information and give written consent

This study measures how lying face-down during lumbar disc surgery affects your breathing and the oxygen levels in your brain. The researchers want to see if this position is safe and how it changes blood flow and oxygen to your brain during the operation.
This study looks at how giving extra oxygen during surgery affects brain function and confusion (delirium) in older adults. It involves placing a small sensor on your forehead to measure brain oxygen levels.
This study tests two different methods of applying pressure to the neck during general anesthesia to see which one keeps the breathing tube placement safer. It may help reduce risks during intubation.
This study looks at how blood pressure in the carotid artery relates to oxygen levels in the brain during awake carotid surgery. It may help doctors better understand how to protect your brain during the procedure.
This study looks at how different breathing settings during surgery affect pressure inside the brain for people having planned (non-emergency) brain surgery. It may help doctors choose safer ways to manage breathing during your procedure.
This study looks at whether using general anesthesia (being fully asleep) during carotid surgery affects how well your brain is protected. Researchers will use memory tests and MRI scans to check patients before and after the operation.
