First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looks at whether slowly lowering the dose of the steroid dexamethasone after brain tumor surgery can reduce side effects like high blood sugar and slow wound healing. About 200 adults with certain brain tumors will be randomly assigned to either a standard steroid taper or a slower one. The goal is to see if the slower taper keeps swelling down while causing fewer problems.
