Anesthesia reversal drug may trigger jaw spasms – study investigates risks
NCT ID NCT06962007
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether sugammadex, a drug used to reverse muscle relaxants after surgery, causes jaw clenching. Researchers will compare different doses of sugammadex to a standard reversal combination in adults undergoing elective surgery. The goal is to understand how often clenching occurs, how severe it is, and what factors increase the risk, such as dose or patient characteristics. Findings could help anesthesiologists adjust treatment to improve safety during recovery from anesthesia.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- sugammadex
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help anesthesiologists choose safer doses or alternative drugs to prevent jaw clenching during surgery recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not identify clear risk factors, and results may not apply to all surgical patients.
