Blood pressure medicines and brain blood flow during tumor surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests how different blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain and other organs during anesthesia for brain tumor surgery. It aims to find the safest way to keep your brain healthy while you are asleep.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain tumor (cancerous or not) that is at least 3 cm in size.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor through an opening in the skull (craniotomy).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your health status is classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3 (generally healthy or with mild to serious illness).

This trial studies how phenylephrine given through an IV affects blood pressure during procedures under general or spinal/epidural anesthesia. It may help doctors understand how to control blood pressure more safely during surgery.
This trial compares different blood pressure management strategies during abdominal tumor surgery to see which one better protects cognitive function (thinking, memory, and clarity). It is for patients who have multiple stroke risk factors and are undergoing a lengthy surgery.
This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
This trial tests whether noradrenaline is better than standard care for preventing dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. If you are having non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least an hour and are expected to stay overnight, this study may be for you.
This study tests how a blood-pressure medicine called a vasopressor affects oxygen levels in the brain during general anesthesia for abdominal surgery. It may help patients understand the safest way to manage blood pressure during their operation.
This trial tests how doctors manage blood pressure during major surgery using common medicines (norepinephrine or phenylephrine). It may help by improving safety for people at higher risk of blood pressure drops or complications during surgery.
