Testing brain function after meningioma surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Mental health clinical trials.
This study measures how thinking and memory change after surgery to remove a meningioma near the front or side of the brain. It may help doctors better understand what to expect and how cognitive recovery can differ from person to person.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a meningioma (a typically non-cancerous brain/tissue tumor) in the front (frontal) or side (temporal) part of the brain
- Your doctors are planning open skull surgery or an endoscopic endonasal surgery (through the nose) to remove it
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You can attend follow-up visits, complete study forms, and understand and sign consent (with support if needed)
- You must not be pregnant
- You should not have had radiation therapy to the brain before

This trial studies how radiotherapy affects memory and thinking in adults with certain brain or skull-base tumors. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to have thinking changes and how to monitor or support patients.
This study compares different radiation methods for treating a slow-growing, non-cancerous brain tumor at the base of the skull. It aims to see which approach best protects memory and thinking abilities.
This trial studies how radiation therapy affects thinking and memory in adults with certain brain tumors. It may help doctors understand which patients are more likely to have cognitive side effects and how to measure them over time.
This study looks at differences in brain function in people who have had breast cancer, compared with certain people without that history. It’s testing how brain health changes after breast cancer and relates to mood, thinking, and daily functioning.
This study follows people with lower-grade (WHO grade 2 or less) brain tumors using repeat MRI scans over time. It helps doctors understand how these tumors change and which patients may safely delay treatment at first.
This study looks at how your tumor's genes, personal health habits, and other factors affect your long-term health after a meningioma diagnosis. You'll be asked to complete surveys about your health and experiences—no new treatments or procedures are involved.
