Sex differences in waking up from sedation explored

NCT ID NCT06003127

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

Summary

This small study in 12 healthy volunteers aims to see if biological sex influences how quickly people recover from a sedative called dexmedetomidine. Researchers will also test whether a brain measurement technique (TMS-EEG) can safely track brain activity during sedation without waking participants. The goal is to better understand consciousness and recovery, not to treat any disease.
