Testing microplastics detection in neurosurgery patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether microplastics and nanoplastics can be detected in people undergoing neurosurgery. If it works, it could help doctors better understand possible material exposures around brain and nerve procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old

This study tests whether a tiny probe can safely measure brain chemistry during and after brain surgery. It may help doctors better understand and treat brain conditions like tumors or epilepsy.
This study tests a device that samples fluid from the brain during surgery to better understand brain tumors and epilepsy. It may help researchers learn more about these conditions without extra risk to you.
This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
This study looks at whether using general anesthesia (being fully asleep) during carotid surgery affects how well your brain is protected. Researchers will use memory tests and MRI scans to check patients before and after the operation.
This study looks at how blood “platelets” may be involved in brain or spinal (medullary) tumors by testing tumor tissue taken during surgery or biopsy. It may help researchers understand disease biology and guide future treatments.
This trial looks for tiny plastic particles (microplastics and nanoplastics) in blood clots from people having a severe heart attack (STEMI) who need a procedure to open a blocked artery. It may help us understand if these particles are linked to heart attacks.
