BRAIN TUMOR ADULT

This early-stage trial tests a special helmet that uses sound waves to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, allowing chemotherapy to better reach aggressive brain tumors called glioblastoma. Ten adults who have already completed initial treatment will receive the helmet trea…

This study will collect MRI scans from 3000 adults with brain tumors (like gliomas or metastases) to train an AI system. The goal is to help doctors identify tumor types more accurately without surgery. If successful, it could reduce the number of biopsies needed.

This study looks at a special stitch called STRATAFIX, already approved for use, to close wounds after brain or spine surgery. Researchers want to see if it helps wounds heal better and with fewer problems. About 160 adults having these surgeries will take part. The goal is to ma…

This study tests a tele-exercise program called RISE-YA to reduce cancer-related fatigue in young adults (ages 18-39) who are brain tumor survivors. Participants must be 6 months to 5 years past curative treatment and currently get little exercise. The program is delivered remote…

This study watches 200 adults having brain tumor surgery to see how often cerebrospinal fluid leaks occur, what makes them more likely, and how doctors treat them. The goal is to find ways to reduce leaks and help patients heal better.

This study compares two common methods of closing the skin after brain tumor surgery: running stitches (absorbable) and individual stitches (non-absorbable). The goal is to see which method leads to fewer wound problems like infection or fluid leaks. About 382 adults having plann…

This study tests whether high-density brain recordings can decode Mandarin Chinese speech features, including tone, from imagined speech. About 50 adults with brain conditions like epilepsy or tumors will have temporary electrodes placed during surgery, and 10 people with severe …

This study uses a special MRI technique to measure how brain tumors process energy. Researchers will scan 25 adults with brain tumors before they start treatment. The goal is to better understand tumor metabolism, not to treat the disease.

This study looks at whether training paramedics with simulations (role-playing) can make patients with a newly found brain tumor feel more satisfied with their hospital care. About 250 adults will answer a questionnaire after their hospital stay. The goal is to see if this traini…
