Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to see if adding a medication called acetazolamide could help patients with high-grade brain tumors reduce their need for another medication, dexamethasone, which can have side effects.
- 30 patients participated, and they were split into two groups: one received acetazolamide and the other a placebo (which is just a pretend treatment). They checked to see if they could lower the dexamethasone dosage safely.
- The study ended early because not enough people joined, and it showed that acetazolamide didn’t help lower the dexamethasone dose as hoped.
