Comparing two anesthetics for brain tumor surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are healthy enough for surgery (classified as ASA I to III by your anesthesiologist).
- You are scheduled for elective surgery to remove a brain tumor in the upper part of the brain (supratentorial region).
- Your imaging scans show significant brain swelling or tumor mass effect, with the brain's midline shifted by at least 5 mm and compression of the fluid-filled spaces or brain folds.
- You have not had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year.
- You do not have certain psychiatric or neurological conditions (like epilepsy or Parkinson's) and are not taking antipsychotics or antidepressants.
- You do not have uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, severe liver/kidney disease, or a blood disorder, and you are not allergic to the anesthetics used.

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 compares two different anesthesia medicines (remimazolam and propofol) to see which helps people recover faster after surgery to remove tumors from the abdominal lining. It is for people with cancer that has spread to the peritoneal surface, and the surgery is expected to take at least 2 hours.
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.
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.
This trial compares two sedation drugs (ciprofol and propofol) to see which one keeps blood pressure more stable during a procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain (called a thrombectomy). This matters because stable blood pressure may reduce complications. If you are having this procedure for an acute ischemic stroke, this study may help guide safer anesthesia.
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.
