Recruiting NA Anesthesia

New treatment option for Anesthesia

Official title EEG-fMRI Experiments During Anesthesia Induction With Propofol

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06179719

What this study is testing

What is Propofol?

Propofol is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, 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 observational study aims to investigate healthy cortical and subcortical neural processes involved in generating intrinsic alpha oscillations during induction of general anesthesia with propofol. To do this, the investigators have designed a simultaneous electroencephalogram (EEG)- MRI (functional MRI and Spectroscopy) experiment with a visual stimulation paradigm that addresses the subject's specific intrinsic alpha rhythm during anesthesia and wakefulness.
