Brain oxygen check: new study monitors teens during spine surgery
NCT ID NCT06910228
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how moving a patient's body position during scoliosis surgery changes oxygen levels in the brain. Researchers will use a non-invasive light device on 50 teens aged 10-21. The goal is to learn how different head elevations affect brain oxygenation, which could help make surgeries safer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help surgeons understand how to position patients during spine surgery to keep the brain well-oxygenated.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures oxygen levels briefly and may not apply to all patients or surgeries.
