How anesthesia affects brain networks in people with glioma
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how different anesthetics change brain connections during surgery for a type of brain tumor called glioma. It may help doctors choose the best anesthesia for your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a glioma (brain tumor) on one side of the brain, confirmed by an MRI
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in good physical health (classified as ASA I or II)
- You are right-handed

This trial tests if a calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) given during and after brain tumor surgery can help prevent confusion or delirium afterwards.
This trial looks at whether a medication called dexmedetomidine can reduce “postoperative delirium,” a temporary period of confusion after awake brain surgery. If you have the type of surgery the study focuses on, this could help your recovery and mental clarity afterward.
This trial tests whether two medications (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) plus a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can help prevent thinking and memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery in people over 65. You would receive these treatments during and after your surgery.
This trial tests whether using EEG monitoring (a sensor-based brain activity recording) to fine-tune pain medicine during general anesthesia can help older adults recover their thinking and memory sooner after surgery. You may benefit from a plan aimed at reducing early “brain fog” after anesthesia.
This study tests how different anesthesia medicines affect how brain areas communicate with each other, measured during an MRI scan. It may help researchers understand how anesthesia can change brain networks in both healthy people and people with brain tumors.
This study compares how three different anesthesia medications affect your brain's neural networks (the connections that help your brain function) during routine surgery. Researchers want to understand which anesthetic might be safest for protecting brain function.
