Methylphenidate for fatigue in young brain tumor survivors
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests whether the medicine methylphenidate (often used for ADHD) can help reduce severe fatigue in children and teens who have finished treatment for a brain tumor. If you're a young brain tumor survivor struggling with ongoing tiredness, this study may offer a new option.
