Brain wave patterns during waking from anesthesia
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are scheduled for a non-emergency surgery that is not on the heart or brain, and you will be under general anesthesia.
- Your surgery is expected to last at least 1 hour.
- You will receive anesthesia either through a breathing tube or through an IV, as planned by your anesthesia team.
- You do not have a history of brain or nervous system disorders (like epilepsy, Parkinson's, or dementia), and you have not taken sedatives, antidepressants, or antipsychotics for 4 weeks or more before the study.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 30.

This study looks at how your brain responds to a common sleep medication used during surgery (sevoflurane). It will help doctors understand why some people wake up faster after surgery and may lead to more personalized plans for anesthesia recovery.
This trial records brain activity during recovery from general anesthesia in people undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It aims to understand how the brain wakes up after anesthesia.
This study tests how different anesthesia medicines affect brain connections during surgery. Participants will be monitored while receiving one of three anesthetics to see which has the least impact on brain function.
This study looks at how your brain waves change during general anesthesia. It might help doctors understand the best way to keep you safely asleep during 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 looks at how brain waves change during anesthesia and sedation in adults and children. It may help doctors understand how to better monitor and adjust these medications in the future.
