Brain surgery recovery: can we cut the steroids?
NCT ID NCT06132685
Summary
This study is testing if a shorter, lower dose of steroids (dexamethasone) after brain tumor surgery can reduce side effects like high blood sugar and poor wound healing, without increasing the risk of dangerous brain swelling. It will compare a 4-day steroid schedule to the standard 15-day schedule in 200 adults who have had surgery to remove a brain tumor. The goal is to find a safer recovery plan that controls swelling while minimizing medication side effects.
