Testing brain responses during awake brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial measures how the brain reacts to small electrical stimulation during an awake surgery for a specific type of brain tumor. It may help surgeons better plan and improve care for people having their first surgery for this tumor type.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a low-grade brain tumor (infiltrative glioma, OMS Type II) and need your first surgery while awake.
- You can understand the study and what it asks of you.
- You will sign informed consent before joining.
- You have health insurance through the national insurance system.
- You should not have major mental health conditions or past psychosis.
- You should not have serious prior head injury or other major neurologic problems that could interfere with testing.

This study maps brain functions during awake brain surgery for tumors. It uses visual and hearing tests to understand which brain areas are involved, helping protect important functions during surgery.
This early-stage study measures electrical brain activity during brain tumor surgery to see if it can predict tumor return or progression. You may be offered the additional measurements while your surgeon removes a suspected or known high-grade glioma.
This study tests a combination of brain stimulation and behavioral therapy to help surgeons remove more of a low-grade glioma (a slower-growing brain tumor) that involves the motor area. It may help improve how much tumor can be taken out during surgery while monitoring safety.
This trial tests whether a special brain stimulation technique (nTMS) before surgery can help the brain reorganize around a tumor. It's for people with aggressive brain tumors near movement areas, who still have good strength.
This study records brain activity during awake surgery for people with glioma. It aims to better understand how the brain works around the tumor, which may help improve surgical safety.
This study compares two ways of doing brain surgery for glioblastoma: doing parts of the operation while you are awake, versus doing it fully under general anesthesia (sleep). It aims to see which approach is safer and better for protecting brain functions like speech and movement while removing the tumor.
