NCT ID NCT07485933
First seen Mar 23, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study compares two methods used during carotid artery surgery to detect when the brain isn't getting enough blood: asking the awake patient to perform simple tasks versus using a light-based device (near-infrared spectroscopy). The goal is to see if the device works as well as the standard awake testing. About 160 patients with narrowed carotid arteries are participating.
