Which muscle monitor saves on meds during surgery?
NCT ID NCT07525323
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two devices that track muscle relaxation during robotic or laparoscopic surgery: acceleromyography (AMG) and electromyography (EMG). Researchers want to see if one method leads to using less rocuronium, a muscle relaxant. About 400 adults having elective surgery will take part. The goal is to improve how anesthesiologists manage muscle blocks, not to test a new drug or cure.
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 could help anesthesiologists use less muscle relaxant during surgery, potentially leading to faster recovery and fewer side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, not testing a new treatment. Results may not change standard practice or apply to all surgeries.
