Anesthesia choice and confusion after brain tumor surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether three different anesthesia medicines (ciprofol, propofol, and sevoflurane) might reduce confusion or disorientation after brain tumor surgery in older adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of these anesthetics, and their recovery will be monitored.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 65 and 90 years old.
- You must be scheduled for brain tumor removal surgery under general anesthesia (being fully asleep).
- You must be in generally good health (doctors classify this as ASA I-III).
- Your surgery is expected to take at least 2 hours, and you will stay in the hospital for more than 2 days after surgery.
- You must be able to speak Chinese and complete simple memory and thinking tests before surgery.
- You must not take sedatives or strong painkillers the day before surgery, and you must not regularly use certain medications like antidepressants or antipsychotics.
- You must be willing to attend follow-up visits for up to 180 days after the surgery.

This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see which one helps prevent confusion and delirium after surgery. Delirium is a temporary state of confusion that can happen after surgery, and researchers want to understand which anesthesia approach might reduce this risk.
This study compares three different anesthesia medicines to see which one might lower the chance of confusion or delirium after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a long, planned non-heart surgery, this trial could help determine the safest option for you.
This study compares two anesthetic drugs (ciprofol and propofol) to see which one is safer for the brain during surgery to remove a brain tumor. It focuses on patients whose tumors cause significant brain swelling or pressure.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (gas vs. IV) during brain tumor surgery to see which one better protects the brain and helps with thinking and memory after the operation.
This study looks at whether certain treatments can prevent confusion or disorientation (called delirium) that some older patients experience after brain tumor surgery. It aims to improve recovery and quality of life after the operation.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
