Evaluation of Acupuncture Effects for Complications After Surgery of Cerebellopontine Angle Tumor in Skull Base

Start date: November 20, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Skull base tumors are a type of tumor that grow in the area of several skulls behind the cranial cavity. The incidence rate is 2 to 18 per 100,000 people per year; males and females are likely to have a proportional difference in the types of skull base tumors. Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors are the most common neoplasms in the posterior skull base,accounting for 5-10% of skull base tumors.Some different kinds of tumors can grow in cerebellopontine angle. The tumors are more likely to cause some symptoms when they grow large enough to put pressure on the brain. A common traditional treatment for skull base tumors is neurosurgery-craniotomy. However, after the operation, brain may be injured with hematoma, and the instruments used are in contact with the brain. It is still inevitable that there will have complications of minor and major nerve damages, such as facial paralysis,trigeminal neuralgia, tinnitus, sports disorders (ataxia) and so on. Acupuncture has a unique effect on the treatment of the human nervous system. Aim of the study is used acupuncture to improve the complications of the surgery of Cerebellopontine angle tumors in skull base.

NCT ID: NCT03972514 Active, not recruiting - Brain Tumor Clinical Trials

Observational Trial of the Impact of Radiation Dose in Children With Brain and Skull Base Tumors.

Start date: March 8, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a prospective, observational clinical trial investigating the morphological and volumetric changes in the brain following cranial Radiation Therapy in pediatric patients with brain or skull base tumors.

NCT ID: NCT01228448 Completed - Brain Tumor Clinical Trials

In-Room PET in Proton Radiation Therapy

Start date: October 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigational part of this study is using a mobile PET/CT scanner to take images of the participants tumor immediately after they are treated with proton radiation. This allows the participant to be treated and imaged on the same bed. The information obtained may improve the accuracy of treatment and may help to minimize the dose delivered unnecessarily to healthy tissue.
