Simulation training for paramedics caring for brain tumor patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether training paramedics with realistic simulations can improve the hospital experience for patients with malignant brain tumors. If you are staying in neurosurgery before your diagnosis is confirmed, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have health insurance coverage
- You have a brain tumor that might be cancerous (either starting in the brain or spreading there from elsewhere)
- You are currently in the neurosurgery department before the official biopsy results are given
- You have not had cancer before this brain tumor
- You have a family member or someone who can receive information if needed

This study looks at how cancer and its treatment affect thinking and memory. It may help doctors understand and predict these changes, which could improve care.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) given before surgery can help the brain adapt and preserve movement function during surgery for a fast-growing brain tumor. It aims to reduce the risk of losing movement after surgery.
This trial tests whether using a special 3D mixed-reality viewer during planning for brain surgery helps doctors better prepare. If you are having a planned brain tumor removal, this technology may make the surgery safer and more precise.
This study tests whether education and support for patients having their first brain tumor surgery—and their caregivers—helps them cope better and recover more smoothly. You and your caregiver would receive educational materials and support throughout your treatment journey.
This study looks at how the brain works during awake surgery for brain tumors. By asking you simple tasks while you are awake, doctors can map important brain areas to avoid damage and improve your recovery.
This study tests if a home exercise program can improve mental and physical health for people with brain tumors and their live-in partners. Both of you will be guided through exercise sessions together over video.
