Can routine monitoring predict dangerous reflexes during jaw surgery?
NCT ID NCT07726251
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study observes adults aged 18 to 40 undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery (corrective jaw surgery) to track how heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels change during the procedure. Researchers will also look for the trigeminocardiac reflex, a sudden drop in heart rate that can occur during facial surgery. No extra tests or treatments are given—only standard monitoring data is used. The goal is to help surgeons recognize and manage these changes earlier.
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 surgeons anticipate and manage sudden drops in heart rate or blood pressure during jaw surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study with only 18 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients or surgical settings.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of adult patients aged 18-40 years who are scheduled to undergo bimaxillary orthognathic surgery at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Kırıkkale University. Eligible participants who provide written informed consent will be enrolled in this prospective observational cohort study. During surgery, routinely monitored intraoperative hemodynamic parameters and the occurrence of the trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) will be evaluated according to the different stages of the surgical procedure.
