Brain wave study reveals aging effects under anesthesia
NCT ID NCT07240870
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how brain wave patterns change with age during desflurane anesthesia. Researchers recorded brain activity from 47 adults and elderly patients undergoing surgery. They analyzed different brain wave features to understand how aging affects the brain's response to anesthesia. This was an observational study, not a test of any new treatment.
