Massive study aims to predict brain surgery success
NCT ID NCT06724029
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is gathering information from 4500 people who have or will have brain surgery for conditions like aneurysms, tumors, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors predict how well someone will recover. By standardizing how outcomes are measured, the study hopes to improve surgical decisions and give patients clearer guidance before their operation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Neuro-oncological pathology: supratentorial and subtentorial tumors, intra and extra axial tumors excluding the skull base (anterior, middle and posterior fossa; sellar and parasellar region) * Basicranial pathology: tumors originating from the anterior cranial fossa, middle cranial fossa and posterior cranial fossa, sellar region with or without supratentorial/parasellar development. * Vascular pathology: aneurysms, AVMs, cavernomas, other pathologies (Moyamoya disease, dural fistulas, nontraumatic hematomas) * Traumatic pathology: diffuse damage (nonvisible diffuse damage, diffuse damage, diffuse damage with edema, diffuse damage with shift) and focal damage (acute/subacute/chronic subdural hematoma, extradural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraparenchymal hematoma, fractures); hydrocephalus. The inclusion criterion for chronic subdural hematoma is recent bleeding for TBI with CT finding of chronic subdural hematoma candidate for evacuation surgery. * Spinal pathology: degenerative cervical (anterior/posterior), myelopathic, and trauma pathology; instrumented, uninstrumented thoracolumbar pathology (disc pathology, canal pathology), and trauma pathology; oncologic spinal pathology. * Functional pathology: Parkinson's disease, spasticity, trigeminal neuralgia, craniofacial pain/algia, neuropathic pain, tremor, dystonias, obsessive compulsive disorder, drug-resistant epilepsies, depression. Normotensive hydrocephalus. * Peripheral nervous system pathology: peripheral nerve compression syndromes, peripheral nerve and plexus tumors, brachial plexus and peripheral nerve trauma (contusion and section) * Malformative pathology: Chiari malformation type 1 and craniostenoses including both those framed in malformative syndromes and those not framed in malformative syndromes (monosutural craniostenoses: trigonocephaly, plagiocephaly, scaphocephaly; multisutural craniostenoses). Malformative hydrocephalus. * For cognitive and psychological assessment: age 18 years or older; adequate understanding of Italian language; diagnosis of glioma, meningioma, vascular pathology, spinal pathology Exclusion Criteria: * For cognitive and psychological assessment: patients with psychiatric diseases in history and/or taking psychotropic drugs; presence of overt cognitive decline (not due to the injury) in history; patients younger than 18 years old.
