Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Effect of Music Listening on Brain Activity Under Anesthesia

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy

• Registration Number: NCT04464265
• Lead Sponsor: University of Michigan

Brief Summary

This study is to better understand the systems-level neuronal mechanisms by which general anesthetics produce loss of consciousness.The researchers believe that anesthetics suppress consciousness by disrupting the functioning of large-scale brain networks that support information integration in the brain.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) Response to Sensory Stimuli During Sedation	60 minutes	Music evoked activity was quantified by measurements of the fMRI BOLD signal. Neural response to a natural auditory stimulus, music, was assessed during both conscious and anesthetized states. Measurements were taken at baseline (30 minutes) and during anesthesia (60 minutes).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Average Squeeze Pressure Over 60 Minutes	60 minutes	Measurement of force of participants' hand squeezing on a rubber ball in response to instructions. This will be measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) of air pressure during squeezing the rubber ball. Measurements are provided for the 30-minute means based on measurements taken every 10 seconds for 30 minutes prior to intervention (baseline) and every 10 seconds for 30 minutes during intervention (intervention), using BIOPAC (https://www.biopac.com) MP160 system with AcqKnowledge software (V5.0).
