Benign neoplasm of brain

This study is testing proton radiation as a treatment for adults with benign or slow-growing brain tumors. Researchers want to see how well it controls tumor growth and how it affects quality of life and side effects. About 100 participants will receive proton radiation and be fo…

This study is testing a device called ExAblate 4000 that uses focused ultrasound waves to treat non-cancerous brain tumors in children and young adults. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can shrink tumors without open surgery. About 20 participants will be enrolled,…

This study tests a shorter course of high-dose proton radiation for people with non-cancerous brain tumors like meningiomas and schwannomas. The goal is to see if fewer treatments can still control tumor growth while reducing side effects and being more convenient. About 70 adult…

This study is testing whether a newer type of radiation called proton therapy (IMPT) can treat children's brain tumors just as well as standard X-ray therapy (IMRT) but with fewer long-term side effects. About 94 children aged 6 to 16 with low-grade brain tumors will be randomly …

This study tests whether telepresence robots can help children aged 5-17 with cancer attend school remotely when they can't be there in person. The robots let kids see, hear, and talk in class from their hospital or home. Researchers will track school attendance, social well-bein…

This study watches 200 adults having brain tumor surgery to see how often cerebrospinal fluid leaks happen and what makes them more likely. The goal is to find ways to prevent leaks and help people recover faster. No new treatment is being tested—just careful observation.

This study compares two common methods of closing the skin after brain tumor surgery: a continuous stitch under the skin using absorbable thread versus separate stitches through the skin using non-absorbable thread. Researchers want to see which method leads to fewer wound proble…
