Official title

A Pilot Study to Evaluate Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Detect Pain in Infants and Young Children Under General Anesthesia

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This is a three-phase pilot prospective study to develop a devise capable of detecting changes in cortical blood volume and oxygenation due to noxious stimuli. The hypothesis of the study is that optical signal changes corresponding to blood volume and oxygenation will be detected with functional near infrared spectroscopy in the prefrontal cortex of children under general anesthesia in response to peripheral noxious stimuli produced from the neurophysiological monitoring (SSEP).
