Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 89 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients between 18 years of age and 89 years of age will be eligible for this study. Patients undergoing a resection of a meningioma located in the frontal or temporal lobes via craniotomy or endoscopic endonasal surgery for clinical purposes will be included. Should a patient have a previous surgical removal of a meningioma, they will still be included. However, all patients having undergone previous radiation to the brain, for any reason, will not be included in the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Subject has a meningioma associated with the frontal or temporal lobes
  • Subject is scheduled to undergo open craniotomy or Endoscopic Endonasal surgery
  • Subject is 18 years of age or older
  • The subject must in the investigator's opinion, be psychosocially, mentally, and physically able to fully comply with this protocol including the required follow-up visits, the filling out of required forms, and have the ability to understand and give written informed consent
  • Previous surgery will not exclude the patient as a new baseline cognitive evaluation will occur.

Who cannot join

  • Patient is a prisoner
  • Patient is 90 years of age or older
  • Pregnant women
  • Previous radiation to the brain

About this study

Official title: Pre and Post-Operative Cognitive Status in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Resection of Meningioma Associated With the Frontal and Temporal Lobes

The purpose of this prospectively enrolling trial is to assess long-term cognitive outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for resection of a meningioma associated with the frontal and temporal lobes.

Read the detailed description

This study will look at patients who are undergoing resection of a skull based meningioma, located in the frontal or temporal lobe, via craniotomy or via endoscopic endonasal approach. The study will compare cognitive function at baseline, at six weeks postoperatively and at one year postoperatively. The cognitive testing being done at baseline will be a clinical care set of assessments done by the speech language pathology team and will include the RBANS tests, the MoCA, PROMIS-29, and NeuroQOL-Cognitive Functions.

Being tested
Long-term Cognitive testing
Medical subject headings
Meningioma, Cognitive Dysfunction

Meningioma GroupThis group will include all patients in the study, regardless of location (frontal or temporal lobe) or surgical approach (endoscopic endonasal or craniotomy). Fifty patients will be included in the cohort
Receives: Other: Long-term Cognitive testing

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall cognitive function

    Cognitive function will be compared at baseline and at one year post-operatively.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cognitive function based on surgical approach using Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS)

    Patients divided by approach and overall cognitive function will be evaluated.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Cognitive function based on tumor location using Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS)

    Patients will be divided by tumor location and cognitive function will be evaluated.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Meningioma and Skull Base Meningioma, run by Ohio State University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Emma Kurtz, BS ((614) 685-4534, Emma.Kurtz@osumc.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall cognitive function (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 May 2026.
