IV-only anesthesia for brain tumor surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a type of anesthesia given only through an IV (total intravenous anesthesia) for people having brain tumor surgery. It looks at how well it works and how safe it is compared to other methods.

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 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 adding dexmedetomidine (a calming medication) to bupivacaine (numbing medication) injected into the spine during knee surgery. The goal is to improve pain relief and recovery after surgery.
This trial tests adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine to the numbing IV used during knee surgery. It aims to see if it provides better pain relief after surgery under spinal anesthesia.
This study tests a combination of pain medicines given before, during, and after surgery to see if they can better control pain and reduce the need for strong opioids. It is for adults having planned surgery to remove a tumor from the upper part of the brain.
