Brainwave-Guided anesthesia may boost recovery after gynecologic surgery
NCT ID NCT05936671
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether using brainwave (EEG) and pain-level (ANI) monitoring to guide anesthesia during laparoscopic gynecological surgery can improve how well women feel the day after. About 126 female patients will be randomly assigned to either this guided approach or standard anesthesia care. The main goal is to see if the guided method leads to a better quality of recovery, with less pain and fewer side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EEG-and-ANI-guided anesthesia (a procedure using brainwave and pain-level monitoring to adjust anesthetic and painkiller doses during surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this approach could help women recover more comfortably and quickly after laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 126 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The benefit over standard care may be small or absent.
