About this study

Official title: Electrophysiology Based Brain Network Study on Deep Brain Nuclei LFP and Cortical EEG During the Recovery From General Anesthesia

The correlations of deep brain nuclei firing and cerebral cortex activity during recovery from general anesthesia is unclear. In this study, the local field potential (LFP) from the deep brain nuclei and the scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) of the frontal cortex were recorded from patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery during the recovery from general anesthesia, in order to explore the changes and relevance of deep brain nuclei firing and cortex activity during the recovery of consciousness from general anesthesia .

Read the detailed description

The recovery of consciousness during the emergence from general anesthesia is an important part of general anesthesia. Previous studies have found that the recovery of consciousness is not a passive process of drug metabolism, but involves the activation of functional neural networks in the brain. However, the temporal-spatial dynamics of different brain regions, including deep brain nuclei and the cortex, during recovery from general anesthesia have not been elucidated.

At present, thanks to the perceptible function of the new generation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) equipment, the local field potential (LFP) of deep brain nuclei can be recorded in real time during the patient's recovery from general anesthesia after DBS surgery. This study will simultaneously record the electrophysiological signals of the patient's deep brain nuclei LFP and cortical EEG signals, and analyze the differences and correlations between the deep brain nuclei LFP and the cortical EEG characteristics during recovery from general anesthesia. This provides evidence for understanding how subcortical deep brain nuclei are involved in the recovery of general anesthesia, and provides clues for solving the mystery of consciousness.

  • No interventionsOther

    No interventions were given to patients except for the deep brain stimulation surgery they originally planned to take

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Changes in the Local Field Potential from the Deep Brain Nuclei and the Scalp Electroencephalogram of the Frontal Cortex.

    Number of participants with changes in the local field potential from the deep brain nuclei and the scalp electroencephalogram of the frontal cortex during recovery of consciousness from general anesthesia. The recovery of consciousness is defined as the patient can follow the experimenter's verbal command to open mouth and extubate the endotracheal tube.

    Measured: 2 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery and Electrophysiology, run by Ruijin Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xin Ma, MD (021-64370045 ext. 666325, mx11507@rjh.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Changes in the Local Field Potential from the Deep Brain Nuclei and the Scalp Electroencephalogram of the Frontal Cortex. (time frame: 2 hours.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06400901, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2024.
