Calming medicine during brain tumor surgery

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.

This trial tests giving either lidocaine or dexmedetomidine during abdominal surgery to see if it helps keep the brain healthy and lowers the chance of waking up confused or agitated. It is for older adults having planned abdominal surgery who are otherwise in fairly good health.

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 study tests a combination of pain-relief methods given before, during, and after brain surgery to see if they better control pain and help you recover with fewer side effects. It's for adults having surgery to remove a brain tumor.

This trial tests whether a nasal spray with a calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) can reduce anxiety before brain surgery. It is given before the operation to help you feel more relaxed and calm.

This study looks at whether certain treatments can prevent confusion or disorientation (called delirium) that some older patients experience after brain tumor surgery. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life after the operation.
