Brain monitor may help doctors Fine-Tune sedation during gut procedure
NCT ID NCT06866886
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a 4-channel EEG brain monitor can help doctors give the right amount of sedation during ERCP, a procedure to treat bile duct problems. 84 adults received propofol sedation, and the monitor tracked their brain activity to guide dosing. The goal was to keep patients safely sedated while allowing them to wake up quickly afterward.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- propofol
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help doctors tailor sedation more precisely during ERCP, potentially reducing risks and speeding up recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 84 participants. The results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the EEG monitor may not improve outcomes over standard care.
