This trial tests a combination of pain medicines given before, during, and after brain surgery to see if it can reduce pain and improve recovery. If you are having surgery to remove a tumor in the upper part of your brain, this study may help manage your pain more effectively.
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 if a calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) given during and after brain tumor surgery can help prevent confusion or delirium afterwards.
This trial tests whether avoiding opioid painkillers during anesthesia for brain tumor removal can be safe and effective. It may help patients recover with fewer side effects.
This study looks at how different anesthetics change brain connections during surgery for a type of brain tumor called glioma. It may help doctors choose the best anesthesia for your surgery.
