Brachial plexus tumor surgery: types and approaches
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at different types of tumors in the brachial plexus (a network of nerves in the shoulder area) and the surgeries used to treat them. It aims to learn which surgical approaches work best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tumor in the brachial plexus (confirmed by imaging like an MRI or CT scan).
- You are any age.
- You are healthy enough to undergo surgery.
- Your tumor is not a recurrence (you haven't had surgery for it before).
- You have complete medical records and follow-up information.

This study tests whether sensory integration therapy helps young children with a brachial plexus injury (nerve damage in the arm from birth) improve their development. It may be a good option for children who have not had other therapies recently and do not have other major health issues.
This study tests a training program for parents of infants with brachial plexus birth injury (a nerve injury around the shoulder that can limit arm movement). The program aims to help caregivers learn exercises to improve their baby's arm function.
This trial compares two different ultrasound-guided methods of numbing the nerves in your upper arm and shoulder for surgery on your hand, wrist, or forearm. The goal is to see which technique works better and is safer for patients.
This trial tests whether wearing a soft cast on the unaffected arm for a few weeks helps babies with a brachial plexus birth injury use their affected arm more. It may improve arm function during a key period of development.
This trial tests if playing virtual reality games while doing dual tasks can help the brain rewire and improve arm function in children with a brachial plexus injury. It could offer a fun and engaging new approach to rehabilitation.
