Surgery vs. medical care for recurrent glioblastoma
This trial compares surgery to the best non-surgical treatment for people whose glioblastoma has come back. The goal is to see which approach helps people live longer with a better quality of life.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05942651Recruiting
tMS for impulsivity in borderline personality disorder
This trial studies whether magnetic brain stimulation (tMS) can reduce impulsive symptoms in people with borderline personality disorder. It may help by changing how brain networks involved in impulse control work.
Bron, AURAAges 18 years+ - NCT05346367Recruiting
Targeted brain radiation to improve treatment benefit and limit side effects
This study tests a more targeted form of stereotactic (precise) brain radiation for people with brain metastases from large cell cancer. It aims to improve the balance between effectiveness and side effects by carefully focusing where the radiation goes.
Leidschendam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05038462Recruiting
Fetal care study for babies with slow growth
This study looks at therapies meant to support brain development in babies whose growth is slower than expected before birth. It enrolls pregnancies in a specific time window and uses ultrasound/Doppler testing to make sure the baby is not likely needing delivery immediately.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04945213RecruitingPhase 3
Biperiden to prevent seizures after traumatic brain injury
This trial tests whether biperiden can lower the chance of developing epilepsy after an acute traumatic brain injury (with bleeding or bruising seen on CT). If you qualify, you would get the medicine or a placebo soon after the injury, and researchers will compare outcomes.
Fortaleza, CearáAges 18–75 - NCT06330870Recruiting
How breast cancer spreads to the brain
This study looks at how breast cancer spreads to the brain in people who had surgery to remove brain tumors. It helps doctors understand why some women get brain metastases.
SeoulAges Any age - NCT06051240RecruitingPhase 2
Lithium to prevent thinking problems after brain radiation
This study tests if the drug lithium can help prevent memory and thinking problems that sometimes happen after brain radiation for a brain tumor. You may qualify if you are under 18 when treated and had radiation within the last 7 years.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 5 years+ - NCT06401057Recruiting
