Measuring Tiredness During Awake Brain Tumor Surgery

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 assess the level of tiredness experienced by patients undergoing awake surgery for the resection of intracranial tumors. Using the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, the study will quantify the degree and speed of sleepiness during the surgical procedure. The goal is to provide surgeons with valuable information on the optimal timing for tumor resection while the patient is awake and cooperative. Participants will be adults scheduled for elective tumor surgery requiring an awake component, and their sleepiness will be evaluated every 15 minutes during the procedure.
