The short version
This study tests which of three sleep medicines used in surgery is best for an older person's brain.
Who this trial is for. This trial is for about 381 adults aged 65 to 90 having brain tumor surgery. It compares three anesthesia medicines: ciprofol, propofol, and sevoflurane.
Where it stands. This trial has not reported results. It will count how many people get delirium after surgery. Delirium is sudden confusion and memory trouble. The main check covers the first 7 days. The study also tests thinking and memory at 7, 30, 90, and 180 days. The answers are not in yet.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: Anesthesia is part of brain tumor surgery. This study may help doctors choose which medicine to use for older adults. Someone who fits the study might ask their care team about it.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean one of these medicines is proven better. A trial is a test, not a proven treatment. Joining one is not a promise that you will do better. It is not a cure.
