Which anesthesia wears off faster? new trial aims to find out
NCT ID NCT06275087
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial compares how quickly patients recover from two types of general anesthesia during mouth tumor surgery. 42 adults will receive either propofol (TIVA) or sevoflurane (inhalation). Researchers will measure recovery quality, muscle strength, nausea, and shivering up to 30 days after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- propofol and sevoflurane
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help doctors choose the best anesthesia method for faster recovery after oral surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares two existing drugs, not a new treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Criteria for patient inclusion are: * patients older than 18 years * ASA status 1-2, * Patients who have an indication for an intraoral surgical procedure longer than 30 minutes. * Surgical interventions on the soft tissues of the mouth, intraoral excision of tumors, operated through the transoral route * Patients who agreed to the research and signed the consent The exclusion criteria are: * ASA status 3 and higher, * The need for postoperative care in the ICU, * Surgery lasting more than 2 hours, * Surgical procedures that in the operative plan include injuries to the grip of the masticatory muscles, the masticatory muscles themselves, and procedures on the bone, and thus may result in a difference in the strength of the bite. Masticatory muscles are defined as musculus pterygoideus lateralis, musculus pterygoideus medialis, musculus temporalis and musculus masseter. * Surgical procedures on the bone where the bite force test alone could cause injury * Patients with diseases of the neuromuscular junction and muscle diseases, myopathy, dystrophy * Patients taking medications that can cause myopathy or muscle weakness * Known allergies to drugs used in the trial, * Refusing to participate
