Summary

This study tests whether verbal, touch, and movement cues can help people wake up more quickly and smoothly from general anesthesia. Researchers will enroll 205 adults having laparoscopic abdominal surgery. They will measure time to eye opening and brain activity changes. The goal is to find simple, non-drug ways to improve emergence from anesthesia.
