Brain surgery breakthrough: nerve zap cuts delirium risk?
NCT ID NCT06518707
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tested a new approach during brain surgery: gently stimulating the nerve that controls the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle). The goal was to see if this could reduce common complications after surgery, such as confusion (delirium) and lung problems. The trial involved 120 adults undergoing planned brain tumor removal. Researchers compared those who received the stimulation during surgery to those who did not, tracking their recovery outcomes.
