This was tested in people. That is the most reliable kind of research we share.
This study just watched people after surgery to test two scoring tools, not a treatment.
The short version
Doctors tested two simple scoring tools in people who had meningioma surgery.
What was studied. Doctors followed 52 adults who had surgery for a meningioma at two hospitals in Indonesia. Each person was scored before and after surgery with two tools, the NANO-Ina scale and the KPS.
What they found. Scores on both tools shifted a little in a better direction after surgery. The NANO-Ina score went from 2.54 before surgery to 2.15 after. The KPS score went from 80.8 to 82.9. A person's score before surgery was closely tied to their score after surgery.
What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: These score sheets may give your care team a simple way to track how you are doing after surgery. How you are doing before surgery gives a hint about how you may do after.
What it doesn't mean: This does not mean a new treatment is coming. The study only tested ways to measure people, not a drug or a therapy. It was small and done at two hospitals in one country. It does not promise that surgery will make you better, and it is not a cure. Your own team still decides what is right for you.
