New treatment option for Anesthesia
Official title Individual Cerebral Hemodynamic Oxygenation Relationships
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04435834
What this study is testing
What is Propofol or Sevoflurane?
Propofol or Sevoflurane is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for anesthesia.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This is a randomized controlled trial in patients who require clinical anesthesia. The main purpose of this study is to understand whether there are differences in the cerebral blood flow, and oxygen metabolism affected by two types of anesthesia: propofol or sevoflurane.
- Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
