NCT ID NCT06228729
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how brain activity (measured by EEG) and stress hormones change when patients are intubated and when surgery begins. 52 adults having open abdominal surgery took part. The goal was simply to observe and understand these changes, not to test a treatment.
