Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

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 problems like infection or opening. About 382 adults having surgery for a brain tumor will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help surgeons choose the best skin closure method to reduce wound problems and speed up recovery after brain tumor surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a surgical technique comparison, not a new drug or treatment. Results may not apply to all patients or hospitals, and individual healing varies.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
