Zapping a nerve during brain surgery could speed recovery

NCT ID NCT06518707

Summary

This study tested if gently stimulating a nerve that controls the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) during brain surgery could help patients recover better. Researchers looked at 120 adults having elective brain tumor surgery to see if this stimulation could reduce post-surgery confusion (delirium) and lung problems. They compared patients who received the nerve stimulation to those who did not.
