Spinal fluid leak after brain tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial checks for spinal fluid leaks after surgery to remove brain tumors. If you are having a planned first-time surgery for a tumor in the upper part of the brain, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a brain tumor in the upper part of the brain.
- You are scheduled for a planned surgery to remove the tumor.
- This is your first surgery for this tumor (not a repeat surgery).
- Your surgery is not an emergency.

This trial tests whether using a sealant after skull base surgery helps prevent spinal fluid leaks. It compares patients who get a sealant with those who don't.
This study looks at proteins in the spinal fluid, blood, and tumor tissue of people with glioblastoma. The goal is to learn more about the disease and find new ways to help patients.
This registry collects information from people with suspected spinal CSF leak (a condition where fluid leaks from around your spine) or headaches after a spinal procedure. By joining, you help researchers learn more about these conditions and improve future care.
This study tests a new device that samples brain fluid during surgery for glioma or epilepsy. It may help researchers understand brain conditions better and is done as part of your regular surgery at Mayo Clinic.
This study looks for tumor cells in your blood or spinal fluid to see if they can help track aggressive meningiomas that have come back. It may help doctors understand your cancer better and guide future treatments.
This study looks at spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) to find markers that may signal a brain or spinal tumor or related abnormal growth. If you have a suspected tumor near the CSF spaces, these results may help doctors better classify what’s going on.
