BRAIN TUMOR ADULT

This early-stage trial tests a special helmet that uses focused ultrasound to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier in people with glioblastoma, a severe brain cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can help standard chemotherapy reach the tumor more effective…

This study will collect MRI scans from 3,000 adults with brain tumors (gliomas, metastases, or lymphoma) to train an artificial intelligence system. The goal is to help doctors identify tumor types more accurately without surgery, potentially reducing the need for biopsies. Parti…

This study looks at a special stitch (STRATAFIX) already approved for closing wounds after brain or spine surgery. Researchers want to see if it helps wounds heal better and with fewer problems. About 160 adults having these surgeries will take part. The goal is to improve recove…

This study tests a tele-exercise program called RISE-YA to reduce cancer-related fatigue in young adults (ages 18-39) who are brain tumor survivors. Participants must be 6 months to 5 years past curative treatment and currently get little exercise. The program is delivered remote…

This study explores whether high-density brain surface recordings can decode imagined Mandarin Chinese speech, including tones, without any actual speaking. About 50 adults with brain conditions like epilepsy or tumors, plus 10 with severe speech loss from stroke or ALS, will hav…

This study looks at whether training paramedics with simulations can make the hospital stay better for people who just found out they might have a brain tumor. About 250 adults will answer a questionnaire about their satisfaction with care. The goal is to see if this training hel…

This study uses a special MRI scan to see how brain tumors use energy. Researchers will scan 25 adults with brain tumors before treatment. The goal is to learn more about tumor metabolism, not to treat the disease.

This study watches 200 adults having brain tumor surgery to see how often cerebrospinal fluid leaks occur, what makes them more likely, and how doctors treat them. The goal is to find ways to reduce leaks and help patients heal better.

This study compares two common methods of closing the skin after brain tumor surgery: running stitches (absorbable) and individual stitches (non-absorbable). The goal is to see which method leads to fewer wound problems like infection or fluid leaks. About 382 adults having plann…
