Brain activity during anesthesia in people with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how anesthesia affects brain waves in people with obesity compared to people with normal weight. It may help doctors understand if anesthesia needs to be adjusted for people with obesity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective surgery with general anesthesia.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be either 18.5 to 24.9 (normal weight) or 30 or higher (obesity).
- You must be able to have your brain waves monitored during surgery using a special forehead sensor.
- You must not have a history of epilepsy or seizures.
- You must not be pregnant or having emergency surgery.

This trial studies whether special brain wave monitoring during anesthesia can help improve children's behavior after surgery. It is for children ages 3 to 10 having certain types of surgery that last more than an hour.
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 anesthesia medicines work in the body during surgery for people who are overweight or obese. It aims to improve safety and comfort during anesthesia, which may lead to better outcomes and fewer complications.
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 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 tests whether changing your head and body position helps with breathing mask ventilation before surgery in people with obesity.
