NCT ID NCT07542015
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two types of anesthesia—propofol alone versus a mix of propofol and ketamine—in 46 adults having elective surgery for unruptured brain aneurysms. Researchers measured the diameter of the optic nerve sheath (a marker of brain pressure) at several points during surgery. The goal was to see which anesthesia method better controls brain pressure and maintains stable vital signs.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Propofol and Ketamine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the safest anesthesia for brain aneurysm procedures to better manage brain pressure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 46 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It measures a surrogate marker, not direct patient outcomes.
