Brain waves may reveal your perfect anesthesia dose

NCT ID NCT06346158

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

Summary

This study looks at whether brain activity measured before surgery can predict how much propofol (a common anesthesia drug) a person needs to reach deep anesthesia. Researchers will test 110 adults with cognitive tests and EEG scans before their operation. The goal is to make anesthesia dosing more personalized and safer.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

propofol

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors tailor anesthesia doses to each patient, reducing risks and improving safety during surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to a practical tool, and individual responses to anesthesia vary widely.
