Pain control before, during, and after brain tumor surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a new pain management plan for people having brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if combining different pain medicines before, during, and after surgery can reduce pain and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a brain tumor above the tentorium (the membrane that separates the upper and lower parts of the brain) and are scheduled for surgery to remove it.
- Your overall health is good to fair (classified as ASA I, II, or III by your anesthesia team).
- You do not have a skin infection where the incision will be made.

This study tests a combination of pain medicines given before, during, and after surgery to see if they can better control pain and reduce the need for strong opioids. It is for adults having planned surgery to remove a tumor from the upper part of the brain.
This trial compares two medicines, ketamine and dexmedetomidine, added to a scalp nerve block during brain tumor removal surgery. The goal is to see which provides better pain control and recovery after surgery.
This study tests adding a sedative (dexmedetomidine) to the usual numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for a scalp block before brain surgery. The goal is to see if this combination reduces pain after surgery better than the numbing medicine alone.
This trial tests whether avoiding opioid painkillers during anesthesia for brain tumor removal can be safe and effective. It may help patients recover with fewer side effects.
This trial tests if a calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) given during and after brain tumor surgery can help prevent confusion or delirium afterwards.
This trial tests if dexmedetomidine, a sedative medication, can reduce pain and prevent confusion (delirium) after planned brain surgery. It may help you recover more comfortably.
