Surgery and sleepless nights: new study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT06888427
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand why many patients have poor sleep after scheduled surgery. Researchers will give questionnaires to 1,000 adults undergoing general anesthesia to measure sleep quality and daytime drowsiness. The goal is to identify factors that disrupt sleep, such as pain or hospital environment, to improve recovery.

- If successful, this could help identify ways to improve sleep after surgery, potentially reducing complications and the need for sleep medications.
- What could go wrong
