NCT ID NCT07357480

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during brain surgery: a computer-controlled pump versus manual control by the anesthesiologist. The goal is to see which method leads to less postoperative delirium (confusion), pain, and nausea. Researchers will study 70 adults having elective brain surgery.

Active substance

propofol and remifentanil

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a better way to give anesthesia during brain surgery, potentially reducing confusion and pain after the operation.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares two techniques but does not test a new drug or cure.
