Pain management plan for brain tumor surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of pain medicines given before, during, and after brain surgery to see if it can reduce pain and improve recovery. If you are having surgery to remove a tumor in the upper part of your brain, this study may help manage your pain more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 a medicine called dexmedetomidine to see if it helps control pain and prevents confusion or delirium after brain surgery. It may help patients recover more comfortably and think more clearly.
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.
