Detecting microplastics in patients undergoing neurosurgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in biological samples from patients undergoing neurosurgery. By analyzing blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain tissue, the study seeks to uncover whether these pollutants are present in the human body during surgical procedures. The research will involve collecting samples from a diverse group of neurosurgery patients to assess the extent of microplastic exposure in this specific population.
