Overview

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) on patients with pituitary gland tumors.

Description

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) on patients with pituitary gland tumors. This study is particularly significant as ERAS has been a prominent focus in international medical treatment, emphasizing improved patient recovery and safety. The main questions it aims to answer are:

How does ERAS affect the effectiveness and prognosis of patients with pituitary gland tumors? Which specific inspection and evaluation items within the ERAS protocol genuinely assist patients? Participants in this study will undergo various ERAS protocols, including pre-operative to post-operative rehabilitation measures, pain management, surgical techniques, and early resumption of eating and activities. This comprehensive approach is designed to reduce complications, shorten hospital stays, and speed up patient recovery.

Additionally, this study will conduct a thorough statistical analysis to determine which aspects of the ERAS protocol are most beneficial. By comparing the outcomes of patients undergoing the ERAS protocol with those who do not, researchers aim to understand better the balance between ERAS and the Choosing Wisely initiative, which advocates for reducing unnecessary medical interventions.

This research is crucial in advancing medical knowledge and practice, particularly in managing pituitary gland tumors, and contributes to the broader goals of enhancing medical quality and patient safety.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
