Study to Determine if Patients Exposed to General Anesthesia Significant Numbers of Times Would Increase the Risk for Intraoperative Awareness.
NCT05857618 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study will detect whether prior exposure to general anesthesia multiple times is associated with an increased incidence of awareness with explicit recall (AWR). This is especially important because patients who need to undergo multiple events of general anesthesia are medically some of the most vulnerable populations. The study hypothesizes that patients with significant exposure to general anesthesia have a higher incidence of AWR. This study may help clinicians and patients to better understand how to manage anesthesia care so that the safety and comfort of patients can be improved.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05857618
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05857618 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,000 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Chicago, which has 846 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with General Anesthesia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05857618 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
