NCT ID NCT00584324
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether the depth of anesthesia during surgery affects a person's ability to hear spoken words without being aware of it, and whether this influences anxiety after surgery. Seventy adults having urologic or orthopedic procedures took part. The goal was to understand how different anesthesia levels might impact unconscious memory, not to test a new treatment.
