Comparing anesthesia types for brain tumor surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (gas vs. IV) during brain tumor surgery to see which one better protects the brain and helps with thinking and memory after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for brain surgery to remove a tumor (either planned or semi-urgent).
- Your general health is classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3 (meaning you are healthy or have a well-controlled condition).
- You have not had brain surgery at the same spot before.
- You are not severely obese (BMI under 40).
- You do not have a very slow heart rate or a heart block that requires a pacemaker.
- You are not pregnant and do not have liver or kidney failure.

This study compares three ways to give anesthesia during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one type of gas (sevoflurane) with or without a lidocaine IV drip, versus a different IV anesthesia (propofol). The goal is to see which approach best protects pressure inside your head and oxygen levels in your brain during surgery.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
This study tests whether three different anesthesia medicines (ciprofol, propofol, and sevoflurane) might reduce confusion or disorientation after brain tumor surgery in older adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of these anesthetics, and their recovery will be monitored.
This study checks whether a specific anesthesia plan used during surgery is practical and safe for people having their first operation for a high-grade brain tumor. If it works well, it may help support better outcomes after surgery.
This trial compares two ways of giving anesthesia during brain tumor surgery to see how they affect awareness and dreaming after surgery. It may help doctors choose a method that improves comfort while keeping patients safely asleep and recovering normally.
This study compares two anesthetic drugs (ciprofol and propofol) to see which one is safer for the brain during surgery to remove a brain tumor. It focuses on patients whose tumors cause significant brain swelling or pressure.
