Could a simple drug stop confusion after brain surgery?
NCT ID NCT07398066
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a medicine called dexmedetomidine can reduce pain and prevent confusion (delirium) in adults after brain surgery. Sixty people having planned brain tumor removal will receive either the drug or a placebo during surgery. The goal is to see if it lowers pain scores and the need for strong painkillers, while avoiding breathing problems.
