Elderly frailty may change how muscle relaxants work during surgery
NCT ID NCT07580144
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looks at whether sarcopenia (muscle loss) and frailty change how the muscle relaxant rocuronium works in older adults having planned surgery. Researchers will measure how fast the drug takes effect and how long it lasts in 100 patients aged 65 and older. The goal is to gather information that could help doctors give safer anesthesia doses to this group.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
rocuronium
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help anesthesiologists tailor rocuronium doses for elderly patients with sarcopenia or frailty, potentially reducing risks during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures effects without testing a new drug or intervention, so direct patient benefits are uncertain.
