Nose job brain check: low blood pressure during rhinoplasty under scrutiny

NCT ID NCT07699133

First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether intentionally lowering blood pressure during elective nose surgery (rhinoplasty) causes any stress to brain cells or affects thinking abilities. Researchers will measure a protein called GFAP in the blood, which can indicate brain cell stress, and test cognitive function before and after surgery using a standard questionnaire. The study includes 40 healthy adults undergoing rhinoplasty and aims to provide safety data on this common anesthesia technique.

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 safe, it may confirm that controlled low blood pressure during rhinoplasty does not harm the brain, supporting its continued use.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study with only 40 people. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to longer or more complex surgeries.
