Xenon anesthesia: nerve effects under the microscope in tiny trial
NCT ID NCT01043419
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study looked at whether xenon gas, used as anesthesia, changes the nerve signals that control muscles and blood pressure. Eight healthy volunteers received xenon gas for 30 minutes while researchers measured nerve activity, heart rate, and blood chemicals. The goal was simply to understand how xenon affects the body's automatic nervous system, not to treat any disease.
