Brain wave tracking may speed up surgery recovery

NCT ID NCT07670689

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether using a brain monitor (EEG) during laparoscopic surgery helps patients wake up faster, have less pain, and avoid confusion. 136 adults having elective abdominal surgery will be randomly assigned to groups with or without the monitor, in different surgical positions. The goal is to see if this technology improves recovery and comfort after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Bispectral index monitoring (a device that tracks brain activity during anesthesia)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could help doctors adjust anesthesia more precisely, leading to faster recovery and less confusion after surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study that only looks at short-term outcomes. The results may not apply to all surgeries or patients.
